I have a T42 that suffered a severe knock on the back left corner, breaking off the part of the hinge that secures the lid to the laptop.
I've checked my parts stash and I don't seem to have any replacement hinges. Does anyone know of a store that still has such old parts in stock?

Re: Source for T42 hinges?
i would hunt ebay for the part or for a complete laptop "for-parts". alternatively post a WTB on the forum marketplace, someone may offer you a good deal.
