Thinkpad T61p 15.4" hinges broken

#1 Post by arlab » Sat Dec 24, 2011 5:12 am

My Thinkpad T61p 15.4" WUXGA hinges are broken.

What part do I need to replace them?
I've noticed the Hinge assembly has two parts: Kato and Reel. What are these?
T61p T7800 2.6 GHz, Vista Ultimate x64, 15.4 WUXGA, NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M (256MB), 4 GB SDRAM, 200GB 7200rpm, Intel Turbo Memory 1GB, Intel 4965AGN, Bluetooth.

They are the same parts, but from different manufacturers.
Reel are better quality it seems.
