Josh, yes I purchased the Hinge from I fixit (lowest cost). I am still looking for a local Mac tech that has done this hinge replacement OR is willing to do it. I also contacted a company in Brooklyn NY that sells special epoxy (suggested by Mayer). If I had both hinges broken I might be reluctant to repair verse replace Good luck
The only thing that bothers me is when i last inserted a blank disc the Titanium immediately went to sleep (Black screen) ...could/would not wake it up. It's a a 11 year old Mac (in PC years it's older than me) with a broken Hinge and Maybe a ka-put optical drive.(can't tell) Will using the Key commands effect anything if there is NO second Dics (I am missing the CD for my Wacom tablet) thanks
