You can replace just the hinge, but it requires peeling apart the 
glued-together display assembly.

My webpage on the topic:

A vendor on ebay "ibiricu" has new hinges, or search eBay for used 
hinges. Note that hinges are either left or right, you cannot swap 
side-to-side. Figure $65 each new (IIRC $125 a pair), or ~$50 used, new 
is the better choice IMO.
