laptop motherboards

[Random717]

does anyone know if these can be replaced fairly cheaply?

I got a friend who's laptop stopped working (HP NX9010), he took it to incredible corruption and they quoted him R6500 to replace a faulty motherboard! Seeing as you can get a decent new laptop for the same price, I'm just wondering if are any other shops around that could do it a lot cheaper, or can I buy the motherboard somewhere and replace it myself?

thanks in advance

You can try SPL or I-CSS - looks like i-css's site is down though, but you can try to get them on 011 5420200 i think

They've got a different BEE name as well..but I can't remember it.

how much do you want for it? he might be willing to buy it from you

xcleric42, the price is about right for a mobo replacement. For the same money you can buy an entry level Acer notebook that will both outperform the HP and probably last a lot longer.

Avoid I-CSS as far as you can. They take forever and do half-arse work.

xcleric42, how much would you want for the broken 9010?

I think he's hanging on to it for now, seeing as he hasn't backed up any of the data etc. I'll ask him next time he's around, which will be when he organises a new one.

HP 9010 Powr Adapter

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get a 2nd hand or even a new power adapter for an HP 9010?

Regards

why not just send it in to hp

surely that would be cheaper
