    Are you still under warranty and/or have you checked with the reseller from whom you originally purchased the system?

    You can check with your reseller or contact Sager direct.

    They snapped at the point where the horizontal screw hole is in the hinge post, didn't they?

    I just had the same problem a couple of months ago. Was driving me crazy till I ordered the parts from Sager. Only cost me $15 each, but they recommended to change both while i was in there, so $30+shipping. Just contact sager, asking to buy hinges for your model.

    If the OP is indeed forced to swap the hinges himself, then a word of advice, as I have done so with 2 M570RU's and a M570U.
    Seperating the screen from the base is really tedious, so only remove the screen bezel and hinge covers. Then swap out one hinge at a time - it much easier this way.

    All the Sager contact info is on their "Contact Us" webpage.

    The numbers you're most likely to want off that page are for tech support, as follows:
