Wallstreet screen hinges
Hi, My Wallstreeet Powerbook has broken screen hinges. I have to prop it up against books just to use it...:) I live in Toronto, Canada and I was wondering if there are any other Canadian Wallstreet owners on this list who had this problem and how did they fix it. I know that PBParts.com will replace the hinges with steel hinges . Has anyone used this company? Is it worth for me to ship my book to the states... or should I just try to find a local service shop. Thanks for help...:) Pauline -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Hi Pauline, get a estimate from a Toronto Apple Reseller, or service center. Excellent work from reputable shop can be found in Toronto.

Thanks for help...:) I've used the services of PowerBook Parts a few times, when I had my Wallstreet. They're very professional, their prices are among the best and I always had a great experience with them. I recommend them. I have no other affiliation with them other than being a very satisfied customer. BTW, I did read a few posts in comp.sys.mac.portables from a guy in Toronto called, I think, the Laptop Doctor or the PowerBook Doctor. He was offering the same services than PowerBook Parts. If you could find him, maybe it would be cheaper and faster? I don't have any experience with him, though... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] BUAG // n.: [abbreviation, from alt.fan.warlord] Big Ugly ASCII Graphic.

They will sell you rebuilt hinges and you get credit if you send in the broken ones. The additional cost for them to do the work was minimal so I elected to send my WallStreet to them rather than replace the hinges myself. Paul -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet screen hinges
I've had a broken hinge in my Ti book, and went to www.powerbooktech.com , they send me a new one and fixed it by myself. The hinge didn't come in very fast (had to wait about 3 months, but finaly got it).
