Best place for powerbook parts

[Solishu]

My dad's Wallstreet's hinge/clutch mechanism died, so now the screen won't stay upright. Anyone know of a good place to buy these parts? He lives overseas, so he can't send the computer into the company to be fixed, I have to buy the part and send it to him. Suggestions?

You could try <a href="http://www.pbparts.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pbparts.com/</a>

Also:

Ebay
OWC

pbparts.com requires that you send the computer in to them for them to make the fix for you. They will "not under any circumstance" sell the part by itself. As I mentioned in my first post, my dad lives overseas (in Nigeria none the less) and as such it would be a royal pain in the ass to get a laptop to the US and back to Nigeria in one piece.

OWC doesn't have the part. They are more periferals than spare parts oriented. Anyone else have any suggestions?
