LF: 14" T42 Left hinge

I have a friend that has a T42, and somehow the left hinge broke?!? Does anyone have one laying around?

Also, do these break easily? They claim that they didn't do anything to it, that it was just broken when she went to open it. Note: I did find out from my wife, that this friend had a friend over at their house recently. I think that their friend might have dropped it...but there is no external signs of it being dropped...

They break easily --- I've had two break on T42s and I'm careful with my computers. The last one I superglued back together, and so far the glue/plastic has held up better than IBM's shoddy hinge. The T6x's seem to have the same problem.
You can probably find a hinge on eBay.
