American date system: Month/Day/Year

Indeed, the grease on the hinge tends to dry after a while... I advise not buying hinge that are too old

Also, there is an issue with the aluminum arm which was finally corrected sometimes last fall

It is common knowledge that the arms were very weak. They should have been built out of steel, but the price was too high for Apple. Now, of course they are making a bundle repairing those hinges.

Obviously, you're not an engineer.....Imagine the cost of the actual aluminum casting arm made of steel.......1000 degree for aluminum maybe 5000 degree for steel

Obviously, you're not an engineer.....Imagine the cost of the actual aluminum casting arm made of steel.......1000 degree for aluminum maybe 5000 degree for steel Oh, so they're cast then. That would indeed make a difference. Oh, and I just had my Manufacturing Processes final today, and we worked with cast aluminum at one point :D

This is great........Are you in manufacturing engineering? What school? I didn't mean to be patronizing.........

Well, I was in Mechanical Engineering at Wentworth Inst. of Technology, but I switching to photography at Rhode Island College. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go move out of my dorm :D

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions on replacing the hinges. The main thing is to open the cover without bending it. Use any strong glue (Gorila Glue works fine)
