Where to get new hinge?

I have a Sanyo VM4500 from Sprint. The hinge cracked and is apparently a common problem. The fix is a new part which I think is a complete faceplate which includes the hinge, but they don't have it. Anyone know where I can get one?

i also had a problem with the hindge, the flip would open and close

i brought to my local sprint store and they replaced the whole interior of the phone (inside faceplate), guessing it is all one piece, it cost 20 bucks, that was cheaper than going through the insurance and paying $50 for deductible

I had my entire case (front door, bottom area, hinge, all the glass) replaced at my local Sprint store for $10. It's cheaper to bring it there and have them do it rather then buying one. If your local Sprint store doesn't have it in stock call other Sprint stores.
