Hello All,
I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I hear that there is an updated version of the hinges for the T60. Before I rip the whole thing apart, I want to make sure I'm not going to have to do this again so I'd like to purchase some hinges that will last for the life of the machine.
Thanks

What is the model #, .e.g./ 2613-3CU. See the sticker on the bottom of the laptop.

The price looks good, but watch out for the shipping charges. It starts at $10 there.

Harry, I can't find anywhere on that site explaining whether the parts are used or new.
Thanks for all your help thus far!

I would go for the IBM/Lenovo parts since they are guaranteed new. I do not know anything about the site that you linked to or what they sell.
