i have replaced the hinges on my (now sold) wallstreet. the hinges
eventually broke from me carrying the poor creature by holding the
latch (a typical WIFI syndrome).

what i did? i found the "exploded view" PDF of the PB, noted the pn of
the hinge, called a freind who is a mac re-seller and ordered a hinge
via his business. upon arrival, i backed up the HD, and simply replaced
the hinges. in all, it took me about 30 mins (im not a techie). i think
it costed less than $50. i would suppose it is equally simple for a
pismo, but i cannot grant you it is the case with a newer tibook.
anyway, i would recommend you to look into it.
