Yup. Load of shite.
PC Specialist have the parts, but won't sell them to me because I don't have a PC Specialist order number for my laptop (was bought by my insurance company, via an agent, via ebuyer, so there /is/ no PC Specialist order number).
Hoping this one turns up, but i've had no further communication from the 'shop' beyond an 'order confirmed' email.
Paid with paypal so if it comes to it I can initiate a dispute there. Hopefully.
It's bad enough having to thread the bastard things through the hinge and then reassemble it without the agony of getting hold of one.
Aye, it was a bit of a cunt getting the old one out. Had to unscrew one corner of the mother board (just needed about 0.5mm more wriggle room), which meant unplugging the top panel (keyboard, track pad, power siwtch) which was 3 or 4 far too fucking short ribbon cables. Easy enough to get off, but an utter bastard to get back on.
If you ever run into that sort of thing again let me know. I'd be happy to reship something out to you.
May still be running into this sort of thing, still no comms from the 'shop'...
OK let me know if I can help!
I missed a signed for delivery today 8-O
Just picked it up from the delivery office. Bloody new microhphone board for Tracy's One Plus One :( :( :(
I want to see the pictures after you wire that up to your monitor!
