congrats aaron, you get to buy yourself a new laptop![views:7248][posts:63]______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 2:28pm - the_reverend ""] there are a couple wires at the hinge of the top that have been known to get cut as the top opens and closes. my speakers haven't worked for a year, but it just shorted out something, there was a spark and no more LCD light. yeah! spending a ton of $$ on a new laptop is just what I wanted to do right now! yeah! |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 2:31pm - Dylan Klebold ""] saw 1 in the austin chronicle for $99,used. |
| _____________________________ [Nov 25,2006 2:32pm - pam ""] My left hinge is broken, my screen randomly falls backward. It's awesome. Go laptops. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 2:34pm - RichHorror ""] As long as you're happy. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 2:39pm - Dylan Klebold ""] Laptops,from Lapland two nights only. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 2:52pm - the_reverend ""] yeah, what I need to buy to replace this laptop will be able $1700. I would know the exact ammount, but my lappy doesn't work and my phone doesn't like www.dell.com |
| _________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 2:55pm - sxealex ""] ummmmmmmmm why not just get a new lcd light they are like 80 bucks i think |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 2:57pm - Dylan Klebold ""] ricky,julian,bubbles,donkeres,now i'm hooked. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:01pm - the_reverend ""] ahahahahahaha. last time I pricedreplacing the LCD on a laptop, it costs as much as the laptop ($999)m that was last year. I have the LCD apart, I'm looking for anything that looks like sparks came from it. I'm hoping that I can find a snowman without his hat on. I'm probably going to get a nice little lappy and then use this one with a LCD monitor as a desktop with a USB harddrive case (since my desktop burmt out lastmonth) |
| _________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:04pm - sxealex ""] http://www.okcomputerservices.com/laptop.htm 75 plus parts? for cable and inverter replacement? |
| _________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:06pm - sxealex ""] dude if u peel of the white part on the back of the lcd there is a neon bulb looking thing in there u dont need to replace the lcd just the light and cable |
| _________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:06pm - sxealex ""] unless u smashed the lcd |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:07pm - Dylan Klebold ""] play some marilyn manson or rammstein. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:17pm - the_reverend ""] the LCD is fine.. I think it's the ligh controller card. that's where the spark came from. and I think you are missing the deal. 75 is for the labor. a 12.1 xwvga is $$$ that's where all the cost comes in. the "parts" would be hundreds. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:21pm - the_reverend ""] $269 for the LCD http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Dell-Inspiron-700M...rdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:22pm - the_reverend ""] I found the inverter online for $25, but it's oos. http://www.parts-people.com/index.php?acti...ion=category&previd=141&prevstart=0 |
| _________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:23pm - sxealex ""] u dont have to buy the lcd if its not cracked... so there is "little" $$ involved. i read the 75$ plus parts look at my post. its gonna be like 50-100 bucks parts from them if u want someone who does it for a living to do it. so like 200 in all what are the specs on the computer? |
| _________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:25pm - sxealex ""] find out the model # i have like 3 laptops here that are dismantled ur welcome to have their inverters one has a smashed lcd and lights up |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:46pm - the_reverend ""] I don't know the apples weren't xwvga. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 3:47pm - the_reverend ""] I'm pretty sure I'm just going to use my work laptop for now and then hook this one up to an LCD panel. I don't know. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 8:54pm - the_reverend ""] ha! yeah, the part I need Is a samsung part. my laptop's gone everywhere with me for over 2 years now. so I'm more than pleased with it. I wanted to wait until atleast feb to get a new lappy. I really want a quad core 3GHz with SATAII 200gb drive and 2GB ram... but whatever. cire 2 prices are going to drop in jan or feb |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 9:43pm - anonymousteinberg ""] Get a Lenovo or Averatech. About $800 less for roughloy the same stats and higher machine quality (durability, engineering, etc) |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 10:08pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Did you want a cookie or a pat on the back, Aaron? |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 25,2006 11:59pm - the_reverend ""] I want a working laptop. IBM's are for chinaamen now. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:06am - anonymousteinberg ""] What dysfunction have you experienced with Lenovos? |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:12am - the_reverend ""] well, I've had an IBM for 3 years and I'm on hard drive #3, motherboard #3 and keyboard #2. lenovos are also twice the price for the same specs. I priced out a comparable lenovo (even with the current "excellent" deal) and it was super $$$$. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 1:11am - the_reverend ""] looking at the Lenovo 3000 V100... and the gateway comparable. the gateway got better reviews. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 1:12am - the_reverend ""] blah! both the gateway and the lenovo don't come with 720rpm SATA hard drives. screw that. the gateways do have tablet PCS though.. I've always wanted a tablet! |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 1:58am - the_reverend ""] fuck gateways... they don't have core 2 duos in thier 12.1"s |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 2:00am - the_reverend ""] fudge |
| _________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 2:02am - sxealex ""] ur on hardrive 3 on your ibm? dude why dont u buy a better brand of hard drive? i bet u got toshiba everytime |
| _________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 2:04am - sxealex ""] u really should get bluetooth on your compy its pretty useful... 'specially the edr one |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 2:26am - the_reverend ""] cause my work pays for them all. not me. my 2 ones above have bluetooth built in. the lenovocomes with a thumbprint reader. I like that. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 8:22am - the_reverend ""] yeah, dell deals on this monday. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 10:14am - infoterror ""] Weird. I've used an IBM for five years, no problems. It's sad to admit, but a friend has a Dell with a similar record. Even the Compaqs seem to work OK these days. I would never buy anything from Gateway. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 10:43am - the_reverend ""] my work dell had the same exact record (down to the # of failures) as my IBM. all the parts are made by like 2 companies anyhow. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 11:46am - infoterror ""] It's true. It seems that way in every industry. Kind of boring. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:04pm - the_reverend ""] wlcome to america, home of the whopper, the melting pot, and a contract to the lowest bidder. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 26,2006 12:22pm - infoterror ""] Lowest minority bidder, that is. America as it is doesn't have long to last. That much history shows us. Our future is... Mexico; and thus, our future ends. |
