| PowerBook 140 hinges broke |
Posted by: JRL on 2009-06-17 17:50:03
So my PowerBook 140's hinges just broke today. Miraculously, the video cable seems to be alright.
Is there any real way of fixing the hinges?

Also, would I be able to install this?

Or could I install a whole PowerBook 160 top on?

It is the screwposts on the top outer plastic and not the metal hinges though, right?
I successfully swapped the outer lid plastic piece from my 145 onto my 160. Also stuck my 145's LCD panel in that same 160. Both were direct swaps as far as I remember.
You might be able to swap the metal hinges themselves as well but I am not sure.
The layouts of the ports on the back are different between the 145 and 160 but I do not know about the 140 or 165.
Many of the 68k PBs have relatively similar parts so just compare both. 😛

Alright, thanks. 🙂
so this means I can use a PowerBook 150 top on my PowerBook 140 too?

mm, I have two 150s but they both have screw post failure so I never looked into it.
Somehow I doubt it though because you have to attach the LCD to that panel and the 150 has a different size of LCD.
It might work.. possibly. But probably not. I would have to take a closer look.
