The left hinge on my T430 snapped. As in, the thin metal piece that runs along the left part of the front panel of the lid has snapped from the rectangular shaped piece of metal connecting to the hinge. I was wondering if I could just super glue it back together? Or would it get too hot and possibly melt the glue? Or should I just buy a replacement hinge from ebay?
Thank you
