BROKEN HINGE ON MY VGN A197XP

[andyxj8]

Opened my Vaio last night and the left side hinge (when looking at the screen) broke in two, allowing the screen to fold flat and not stay upright, its an easy repair but where do i get a repacement hinge, and advice appreciated. THANKS Andyxj8

Hi Andyxj8 and welcome.

You will probably have to have it shipped from the US

Have a look at this recent thread: -

Hi ,Thanks for a quick reply,
The list of VGN-A machines doesnt list mine, it might not have been on sale in the US, are all the VGN-A machines similar , in that they are likely to use the same hinge, Ive seen a VGN-A 115z for sale on ebay and it looks the same, or is this coincidence? Thanks for any advice offered. Andyxj8 [:">]

Hi andyxj8,

Best to email nexttronics to confirm it is suitable for your model before purchase.

Good Luck.
