a20m hinge repair

#1 Post by dara_a2 » Mon Aug 08, 2005 10:52 am

recently acquired a used thinkpad a20m, only thing wrong with it is the hinge is sort of broken. i'm unsure how to approach fixing it. here are some pictures of the hinge:

is there any way to use a hinge casing from another thinkpad of a different model? if so what model? any repair substitutes?[/img]

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the the hinge itself, just the hinge cover, which is purely a cosmetic piece.
