[Macpartners] repair of broken powerbook hinges

[Nick Knouf]

Hi there,

A user's powerbook succumbed to the dreadful "broken powerbook hinge" 
problem.  Rather than send it to apple with a resulting bill of over 
$1000, I was thinking of sending it to some other repair shop that will 
replace only the hinges (around $300-400), since the LCD screen is 
still perfectly functional.  Does anybody have any experience with any 
repair shops that you would recommend?

Thanks,
