T42 Hinge Repair in NYC Area

[kschac]

The left hinge of my just-out-of-warranty T42 just broke in half and I would like to find a repair shop in Manhattan or Westchester County that can fix it. I've purchased the replacement hinges from Lenovo. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Well how good are you with technical stuff and following instructions? You can easily replace the hinge by using the Thinkpad Hardware Maintainence guide.

Thanks, but I understand that it involves a lot of very small screws and a bunch of connections and thus a probable exercise in frustration. A forum member PM'd me about his availability to do the repair for a reasonable fee so I may ask him to do so.
