Hi computer gurus,

So I have a Toshiba Satellite, 2 years old... and the hinge on the screen is broken. The thing flops back and forth at will, unless it is held up against a wall or something behind it. There is no stiffness left in the hinge to keep it up.

Does anyone have a suggestion for fixing it? I called a repair place and it was $100 for parts, another $100 for labor... I am at the point of just getting a new laptop, since it would be probably $800 or so anyway. But since it's just the screen that is bothering me, I feel like it's a waste (since I paid $1200 for this 2 years ago).

Suggestions?
