I have this HP laptop here that needs to be repaired. The part where the screen pivots seems to be broken, but I'm not sure what the problem is with it. I was wondering if anyone here does laptop repairs or knows a reputable place is queens (contact numbers please) where I can go to get it fixed.

Thanks!

 

anyone? /....

 

where r u located in queens?

 

Is it the hinges where the monitor opens and closes on? Depending on the model try taking the case off and inspect it. You may be able to find parts on HP website.

If it was data recovery I couldve helped you out.

Sputnik - I'm in elmurst

Erse - Yeah its the hinges (sorry i was tired and couldn't think of the word no matter how long I stared at the laptop). I am not ballsy enough to take apart a laptop man....

 

I'm not either but I bit the bullet and took out my harddrive when it crashed, and recovered my data.

I think there maybe a spot in LIC but not too sure. Do a search on yahoo and call different places. How old is your laptop?

 

maybe 2 yrs old

There's places by me all along roosevelt but after a bad experience with data recovery, I am not sure if I trust these places. looking for another place in a different area. He said the whole drive was going but the tech at work had everything back in under 10 minutes. craziness

 

I wouldn't trust any of the spots on Roosevelt! The reason I asked how old the laptop is because I had an old HP laptop laying around somewhere and maybe I couldve gave it to you for parts, but the one I have is from 03-04.

 

exactly why I came to the board to look for help! lol

Thanks for thought though... now if that was an IBM with a good MB that would be awesome.. lollllll

edit: ended up taking it to a place that a friend suggested yesterday, hopefully it all goes well

 

Let me know how it goes. GL

 

they told me to come pick up the PC that there is something else wrong with the hinge, they said it FUBAR and to use as is... wtf is that?

 

sometimes the hinges are very delicate and not easily replaceable if at all.

it has happened to me before on old dells. i would take it apart and take a look inside. you may be able to reinforce it.

i just put my laptop against the wall so that the wall would hold it up.
im guessing you probably did not want to hear that.. lol

 

i dont have a problem with that. its my gf that is scared that the screen is like going to fly right off. the screen can hold itself up on its own, but wobbles if it is like betweeen 35 and 55 degrees tilted

 

FUBAR? "f--ked up beyond all repair" I'm surprised they even used that term. I just did a search on yahoo to find out what the hell it meant. lol

Sorry to hear it dude. Try calling the manufacturer support or check their web site if they have any parts or fixes/recalls etc.

Off topic: Are you around the Northern Blvd & the 100s in Corona/E.Elmhurst area? I see a blk/blk gs430 w/ a spoiler everytime I'm around there. I'm in the crystal parchment pearl (offwhite) gs3 with Georgia tags.

 

well they didnt say fubar but it was easier to type than what he actually said, but that was the jist of it.

Last week i was around that area a few times, but not normally. I'm off Broadway in the 70's. I'll look out for you, I am dropped on some 18's now, don't pull off if I yell over to you to run your ish
