used laptop parts

[miranda]

Does anyone know of anyplace for used laptop parts? I need a display screen for an HP Pavillion n3370. Getting it fixed with a new one costs more than the laptop is worth. I have been keeping an eye out on eBay for one, but not having any luck.

I'd check at some local computer parts stores... They usually have things of this nature... However, it might be best to just get a new laptop, as this may be a very difficult thing to find... Hard drives, memory and external/internal bay devices are easy because they can be popped out... Displays, power supplies and motherboards are more difficult and expensive because they require taking the whole unit appart, usually a 30 - 45 minute project, which most companies do not want to pay their technicians to do... You might be able to find someone who has the whole unit, however again, not likely as most toss them after retrieving the drives, memory and external/internal bay devices...

I can replace it myself, so that isn't a problem. The laptop has actually only been used a few months. It was used during business travel only and of course right after the warranty went out the display quit. If I can find a display cheap enough I will replace it myself.
