have you tried installing windows 7 on your C640/C650? Did it work?

Thanks a lot for keeping this article online. Your guidance worked out well just now for my old old Latitude D600 as well. – Almost like new now. Thx again, regards M.R.P.

DAMN IT! I followed these intructions and pulled the LCD cable off where the red arrow is and the ribbon cable pulled off the connector. Now I need a new ribbon cable.

Will these instructions be the same for my D630 laptop? If not, can someone help me out. My hinges are obviously broken since my laptop cover can not stay open.

Thx for your advice. I just disassembled my broken D600 and could see that the screws to fix the hinges in the case are in different positions. So the answer is: No, i can’t use D600 hinges in a D610
But thx a lot anyway, for this brilliant “How-To”

Rethoff,

can i use D600 hinges in my D610?

Not sure.
You can google “Dell D600 hinges” and “Dell D610 hinges”. After that go to images and compare hinges.
If they look similar, probably you can use them. This is just a guess.
I don’t have full hinge specifications.
