Source for Used Parts??
Anyone got a link to a good source for pulled Compaq parts? (HH? Mr.
Scales?) I still need a set of display hinges for a Presario 700 (722US) with the floppy display syndrome. I thought I had lucked into a set at www.thecompqstore.com, but they're for a 1700 series machine. Please don't suggest HP-Parts, they want more than $300 for a set of hinges for a laptop that's barely worth that much. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Regards, James |

Try www.epcusa.com or some of the Ebay auctions they have links to.
They seem to have a lot of Compaq stuff, but the used parts side is pretty hit or miss. A friend found some hinges for his Compaq (sorry, I'm not sure what model) on Ebay by bidding on a complete system with other major issues. As a bonus he got a PCMCIA card of some sort and some additional memory for around $40.00. Hope this helps, I'm looking for a case top for a ThinkPad myself. KC "JHEM" wrote in message ...

Found a few "parts" machines on eBay, but most have had the display removed WITH the hinges and the sellers haven't reponded to my queries.

IBM ThinkPad 380Z
Type: 2635 Model: JBU It's an odd deal, but a friends exgirlfriend and mother to his son, remarried a real jerk. He wouldn't give the ThinkPad to his stepson because he lives with his dad. Wanted $500.00 for it. (He got it for free when his former company folded). But the mom traded it to my wife for an older TV/VCR she could watch in her shop. I convinced the wife that the only righteous thing to do is hook the kid up with it, if I can get a new case top on the cheap. There are cracks radiating from the corners of the hinges towards the center, about 3 inches long. I have searched for a retrofit or some fix for this, but no luck so far. I have seen a few laptops with aluminum plates attached (glued?). I wonder if this is some sort of a solution from the manufacturers of homegrown? KC "JHEM" wrote in message ...
