laptop repair parts
I'm wondering if anyone knows if a decent supplier of laptop repair parts? I'm going to be repairing my HP laptop's screen, keyboard, and i'll be upgrading the memory and possibly hard drive. I've already taken the laptop apart to peak at it, the screen replacement should be very simple, and thats the most important thing, as its actually on the way to being shot.

I usually do to the manufacture for Laptop parts. You may be able to get them through other venders, but the screen and keyboard are going to be harder to get, and probably more expensive.
What type of HP is it? I have an almost dead one setting here.Andy

I've bought all my Dell laptop parts off of eBay. Caveat emptor, maybe, but on eBay there are some bargain computer parts to be had!

The hardest part will be finding the screen. I was in a similar boat a few years back and it was less expensive to just replace the laptop.
I don't know what model you have or any of the details about it, but I would start by checking with your manufacturer and/or reseller if you didn't purchase it directly from the manufacturer. The company that creates the screens likely only sell them in bulk from my experience so your manufacturer or reseller is a likely place to find them.
Places like ebay as JDMurray suggested are definitely worth checking out as well, but I don't know how much success you will have going for a screen.
Good Luck and let us know what you find. I am hoping I don't break my brand new laptop but just in case it would be nice to know! -

How much is an equivalent spec laptop new? You're going to be paying out several hundred $ on this and you won't have any warranty on your repair work or the laptop itself. Factor in the time you have to spend fixing and testing the laptop and that cost just gets even higher. -

You think their url gets blocked by firewalls and other filter since it contains the word S - E - X? Lol, I really am only 10 years old mentally. -

I think he was speaking from a DIY perspective, not a retail perspective.gorebrush wrote:Didn't expertsexchange have the same problem?
That's my favorite one because it actually changes the meaning entirely; it's not like a problematic word simply appears in the phrase -

I didn't think it was that complex of an idea. If cost of repair + time is close to cost of an equivalent spec laptop then why bother to fix it. Make sense yet? -

Unless the laptop is extremely inexpensive, or a total loss, it's always cheaper to repair yourself than to buy an equivalent because most refurbed parts are inexpensive. If you want to buy rather than repair because you need a laptop with upgraded features, now that's a worthwhile option to consider.
