    My sager notebook has a broken hinge, any ideas on what I can do to fix it or can I buy a new plastic case and transfer all the parts?

    i also had a sager (5690) with a broken hinge, and i believe that it's fairly common with the old sagers. when my first case became unusable, i ordered a new case from sager (i think it was $100 or so for just the top). eventually, it started to crack again (i think it lasted about two years, before it started to crack, by which time, it was time to retire it - i had it for about 6 or 7 years in total).

    Oh I didn't know you could order a whole new case. Did you get it off ebay or Sager?
