Hello HEL, thanks for this solution. I'm from Belgium and had some trouble to find a suitable hinge but finally found a bigger one that I truncated a bit. As long as the distance between the 2 rounded hinge parts is flush with the width of the remaining plastic part of the upper part of the box, you're fine. It's a pity I cannot upload any photos here (because I am really proud of the end result ;-)

Thanks for sharing your solution. My top box hinges snapped when opened over three years ago... Have been putting off repairing it because wasn't sure how. Feel better equipped now.

cruisysoozi just do it! but if i were do it a second time i would have used much shorter bolts and avoid the nail polish as it will turn whitish over time!

Also, how did you remove the main part of the hinge (with the pin in it) from the base section of the box? That seems pretty tricky.

i did not remove that, my original case bottom hinge is still there and works with the metal hinge used in this video

Apologies, it's the top part of the hinge that's proving difficult to remove (the left and right parts that are replaced by the hinge). Maybe yours broke a different way to mine :) Left a message here with a pic that may explain it more clearly: ec2-50-18-170-78.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com/forum/topic150161 If you scroll to the bottom of the page you'll see the image. Saw you're youtube video there and have assumed you are one and the same :)

Hi Farhan, I just finished repairing my top box following the instructions above. It's totally doable (and I put it off for three years). It's inexpensive to buy the parts, takes a few hours to do and you'll need a few tools: a decent file, some locking pliers, small hammer, small spanner.
