replacement/repair hinge for sager/clevo np5793

Hi guys!

I'm looking for a place to get the hinge of my sager np5793 repaired/replaced.

it seems the steel/alloy bracket has snapped (had it in my bag and placed it down a bit hard).

I live in Tasmania Australia and just wondering where to get parts/repair.

Not sure if it's under warranty, prob not... it's a couple of years old now but still a wicked machine! (Thanks Xotic!)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Chris

 

first step is usually call the manufacturer.... sometimes they have parts depots. I usually hit ebay next.

you can find them here:

Hey, thanks very much for directing me in the right direction.

I'm considering buying the part and fixing it myself. Do you think this is a good idea?

I'm not bad with fixing stuff, and I'd say I can do it. But wondering if there's a special trick to it, or if there's a spring in there that's going to fly out and make it impossible lol.

Just a thought.

Anyway, If I can get it myself, and take it to a tech that might be a better choice.

What do you think?
