Are Powerbook Wallstreet PDQ (1998) & Lombard (1999) 14.1" display hinges the same?

[TimHD]

Trying to source a replacement (right) hinge for the 14.1" Wallstreet PDQ (1998) model M4753.

The 1998 series was the year Apple consolidated the screens from 12/13/14 into a single 14.1" Wallstreet II PDQ series (both series being M4753 models), with the following year's Powerbook G3 Lombard also using a 14.1" display (but now model M5343).

I can source a relatively cheap Lombard 14.1" hinge set but wondering if the PDQ's screen uses the same hinges? 

Alt: Does anyone have a spare (right when facing the screen) hinge for the M4753's 14.1" LCD screen they can sell?

Bleh, I had one not too long ago but got rid of it. I take it yours exploded? 

I'm about 99% sure the Lombard hinge won't work. The chassis are very different.

Here's a "left" hinge $19..

And a full set for $59 (i.e. the price of a 2nd hand Wallstreet!)

As before, anyone got a right hinge they can scrounge from a dead PDQ?

Yep. Mods, please move this to the PPC 'Book section.

Good luck with the hinges, TimHD!
