Giving this message a bump.

I don’t know anyone currently offering repair services (except perhaps Fran Gründel on this list), but there might be someone around willing to lend a hand. Where abouts are you located?

If you’re interested in trying to tackle the hinge repair yourself, there are some resources listed in the Newton FAQ:

You’re looking to install software *from* your MacBook *to* the eMate, correct?

You’ll need a USB to serial adapter cable as mentioned in this thread:
