    My 4.5 yr old Vostro 1500 has two broken hinges - the lid is still on but there is no resistance of movement to hold it up in place anymore when opened. I know there are replacements on eBay. But does anybody have a workaround until I get replacements? I've heard that superglue won't hold for long. Thanks.
