I broke my laptop - best way to fix?

I broke the hinge on my laptop. It is a Dell, and I dread the thought of sending it to Texas or India to have it fixed.

Is there anything I can do myself?

 

Most parts are available from Dell's website. See if you can fiind a service manual for your laptop on Dell's site. If you have problems, post the model number of your laptop.

 

This is the service manual but I can't find a part or part number for the hinges. The whole thing is just the display assembly.

I think these are the pieces I need. http://www.pelltechnology.com/Products/?id=3146180&ProductName=Dell_Inspiron_1520_Laptop_Hinges_

Nice to know that the manual is there. I peeked inside and I don't see anything there that frightens me.

 

I think I found the right hinge, not sure about the left one...:confused

No picture.

 

That's probably it. Theres a guy on ebay selling the set for $20 plus shipping from the UK. too.

I think I can do this! I think I am going to hate messing with laptops though. Everything is packed so tightly.
