Sources of replacement parts for X41 tablet

#1 Post by msands » Tue Aug 03, 2010 6:56 pm

Hello,
I suppose this it could be a more general question, but what are other than obvious (Lenovo website, E-Bay...) sources of replacement parts? Any suggestions? Reccommendations? Warnings?

Best,

www.seattlelaptop.com may sell parts, certainly they claim to do repairs and are there on a street in Seattle last I looked.

[url]http://www.repc.com/[/url] have much used stuff, don't know how good they are at finding specific parts in their bins. Two locations in Seattle area.


As for eBay, I just obtained several parts from laptopaid on eBay, have many parts, good service, I don't know how to find them on eBay - is 184359 a seller number?

eBay is not as good as you might expect - some sellers are very careless about accuracy of listings, so you risk inaccurate claims of features or applicability of an item, some do not give thorough replies (they don't read your message fully), some are plain arrogant jerks.

I also find eBay awkward to order more than one part from the same seller, which helps spread shipping charges.

PS: http://www.itxchange.com have some parts and can provide dock keys but are a bureaucratic pain to order from, substantial UI problems with their website but they may be able to handle phone orders.

And for dock keys, http://www.compu-lock.com provide good service if you know the number on the key or want to pay for shipping the unit to them and they figuring it out somehow.
