Laptop parts supplier?

[glass]

Hello,

getting quite a few calls from people with dodgy laptops (motherboards or screens) Are there any UK websites for laptop parts at wholesale prices??

I have had a look on ebay but the average price for a new screen is £140!!! surley the vendors (dell/sony/HP) have some sort of outlet for parts? I just can't find!

Help.

Laptops are uneconimical to buy and even more uneconomical to fix. If there was a cheap way to fix them, companies would lose out on selling you £200 - £300 warranties lol.

You may find laptops being broken for spares (on ebay) but other than that everything on them is expensive.

Best practice with laptops is buy them with a decent warranty and throw them away when they break

There was a company that sold dell spare parts, my old company used them. It was based on them getting the old parts to refurb them etc.. but I just can't find them now.

The other obvious problem with fixing them yourself is that they are so fiddly inside, I saw my old boss break more than he fixed by opening them up.

What laptops are they?

I asked on the laptop part of the forum about a replacement keyboard, I`ll try and find the relevant post.

Have you tried LaptopSpares

They may not fit your criteria for "wholesale prices though"

Toshiba keyboards going for £55 and i don't knowif that includes VAT and delivery

With regard to laptops....what mike said

I don`t know how cheap they are:

Laptop Battery, Laptop Charger, Laptop Repairs, Laptop Spares and Laptop Accessory from Laptopbits.

I`ve found that searching on Google for a specific part is the best way.
