    Just found this forum, my first post. Not sure what to do with a broken hinge on a VAIO pcg-tr3a. Man it was a great little laptop; actually it still works, but I don't want to damage it more using it while it's broke. I need to buy a few more so I always have xp and the little VAIOs till I die.

    I think all I need is a screen case, if I'm right, that the hinge half is on that side. If that's the case, I'm still not sure how to disassemble. I've had the base apart to tighten the 4 hing screws under the keyboard, but after a few times, something else still left the hinges wiggly. There must be some other screws on the screen case side?

    Anyway, a good close up picture of the broken hinge is at:

    Any advice on where to find what I need and then what exactly to do if I can even find it would be appreciated so much
