My kenwood turntable has a broken cover hinge. Since they just slot into the body of the turntable and the cover, I was wondering if you could replace them?

I used an offset cabinet hinge & screwed it into the body of the printer, & the cover. The offset has to be jiggled a bit to open, but works fine on closing. Otherwise, HP wants you to buy a complete new scanner cover.
Let me know if you find a source for replacements. In the mean time, I kept my unit working by just removing the broken top half of the hinge. You have to remove 5 screws using a TORX T10 screwdriver. First remove the small plate covering the back of hinge on the outside. Then remove the two vertical screws at the top of the hinge up under the hinge lip. Then open the cover (be careful to hold it in place so as not to damage the three flex connections between the lid and body) and remove the other two screws at the top of the hinge. Remove the broken top half of the hinge and lower the cover back down. Until you find a replacement hinge, you can put a piece of heavy duty tape on the back where the hinge was.

It should be fairly obvious. The only thing I can think of it that the hinges are missing (these slot in to both the lids and the turntable and are easily lost if someone has been using them with the lids off).
If they are missing, it certainly would make it difficult to figure out!
