My much loved three year old Dell Inspiron 4000 has suddenly fractured its right-hand hinge; total value of small metal part, about 50p you would think.
Ring Dell's supplier of non warranty parts in Appleton (very good; used them before) to discover (not their fault) that you must part with over £60 (!) on this model for the whole LCD lid/frame etc., just to aquire the hinge! This part is attached to the notebook base by three screws and - by the look of the diagram - to the lid, once you have got it apart, by a maximum of two screws.
Can anyone help with a source for just the hinge?
Thanks in advance.
