T42p's need repair - Can you recommend a good repair guy?
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:11 pm
I have three T42p's that need repair and I'm looking for someone with excellent skills and positive feedback to do the job. Any recommendations?
All three are 15" and and one is UXGA FlexView. All boot and run fine. All three have display issues
#1 2373-kyu L3-06w62
My favorite workhorse - Has a new display and was working perfect until I went and replaced the fan and royally screwed up the GPU which is now producing patchy and distorted video. Other than terrible video, it boots and seems to be still running just fine. Either reflow the GPU or cannibalize the MB out of unit #3 (provided I don't take a performance hit).
#2 2374 WEK klvyb31
Bot this as a temporary replacement for #1 but now... I think I want the CFL's replaced as the dim corners are annoying to my old eyes. Otherwise, it seems like a good backup unit for me.
#3 2374 HTU L3714N4
This one has CFL's that are really bad on both sides. I originally bot this with the intention of cannibalizing its' mother board and keeping the rest of it for parts.
On a "time & materials" basis, I would like to send all three out for repair and get back two that are outstanding plus a box of extra parts. Payment by Company check, PayPal or cash. Any suggestions, recommendations or help you can send my way will be deeply appreciated.
