Rotating mechanism is broken - PLEASE HELP

[kucsi]

Hi, everyone i am so sad you can't imagine :(. The rotating mechanism, the metal part which rotates the display is broken:(. Don't ask me how, i don't know.

I do not have any idea what to do now. Where to find, how to search ont the WEB. Is there anyone who had problem with the rotating mechanism? Could you tell me who to ask to replace this part? Or does anyone have a not working Uni....i would buy this part from them :(

Hi,
Dont be sad. Try to find parts on ebay. I saw there thaat part along with wires connecting LCD. It costs few bucks.

it's also surprisingly easy to open the hinge up; unscrew the little screw in the metal base plate. It's metal on metal so no risk of wearing out the screw. Base plate comes off and exposes a single cable that's well protected; no risk of screwing this up. Now you can take the plate and get a new one manufactured at any metal shop or anyone with an interest in metal work. Even a jeweler I'd guess. You may even find the plate is just bent a bit.
