    Hello,

    I have a XPS 1330 that has what appears to be only a broken hinge assembly. Based on the photos of the laptop below, what part(s) would I need to replace this myself?

    I see a lot of different sellers on ebay selling various hinge and related parts, but I'm unsure to exactly what I need.

    THanks!

    Probably just the hinge itself and a new lid. If cables are broken, you might need a new cable harness as well.
