Broken hinge on i1200

#1 Post by Phazer » Mon Dec 04, 2006 12:30 pm

The wifes i1200 (1161-43U) broke the LH hinge. Nothing on eBay as far as just hinges go (I could always buy a parts only 'puter). Has anybody ever tried to repair one that is broke? Weld, epoxy, braze?

One of mine broke. I'll probably just super glue it or something. I wonder if there's some way to get replacement ones.

Yeah.....for a price. I saw $59.00 and $68.00 for a pair. One of these days I'm gonna tear the wifes apart and fix it. I'm kinda looking for a junk one on eBay as a donor incase the repair fails.
