[Ti] G4 Hinges Needed

[heindebruijne]

Hi Mykel,
More than a year ago I had to replace the left hinge, I did'nl like to 
repair them and bought a pair;
I found a site where there was explained a replacement of one or both 
hinges
without taking the display of....!

I got the INSTRUCTIONS with very helpful foto's from Jose R. Cortes, 
jocortes at optonline.net:
I also bought my hinges from him, quick delivery, new original hinges 
for a reasonable prize.


Scaring at first but after a lot of serious studying the 'manual' I 
fixed it
within a hour, it is still sound working after another year or so
of opening and closing some twenty times every day!

I have a new, not used right hinge, if you like, but you need two, so 
ask what is
the difference in prize for one or for a pair; always nice to have a 
spare one for the other side.

Just look into Jose's pages very carefully and do'nt be afraid for the 
"CRACK"
when you open the display back-cover.

Hope you will be happy just like I was with my own repair!
Good Luck!!!

PS
I would'nt go as far as separate the display from the PB, it is 
difficult, risky and not necessary.
If you want to see how that has to be done:
