Hey all,
I have a laptop that has broken hinge that makes it extremely tough to open and close it. It broke in August, but I sent it in to get repaired. They replaced the lcd lid and fixed the lcd frame for $215 for the material (ripped off but I had no choice at that time). Once I got it back, it breaks again within 3 months in the same location.. Since the warranty has expired, I am on my own now. I plan on using my own nut and bolt arrangement from home depot to fit it together. I just don't know what sort of bolt to get and I was thinking that maybe somebody else had a similar issue here to help get me started..
Any ideas or suggestions??
Couple pics of the damage (it is the same as it was when those pics were taken):
