Hiya...

The other day my laptop started to fall off my desk. When I reached to catch it, I grabbed the screen and snapped both hinges that attached the LCD to the notebook chassis.

I took the unit apart and noticed the hinges are part of the LCD assembly.

Is there any way to replace these hinges? Acer wants between $200 and $700 dollars to repair! Please Help...

Don't you love people that ask questions then never bother replying?

In answer to your question, have you asked someone at a local computer repair shop? If you feel confident enough to do it yourself, look on ebay.
