Mike567 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Seems a bit wierd to me http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toshiba-satellite-pr...1QQcmdZViewItemI questioned him if he charges for other parts and this is his reply your laptop motherboards will be fixed for £45 parts included, if you require things such as new screen or keyboard etc you will be charged for cheers.. AaronIts very cheap .At the moment its sitting in pieces on top of my desk, I believe the issue is with the power board.What should I do, I'm expecting them to do something dumb like charge me £10 for every screw replaced (thats a lot considering I lost most of the screws) :lol:.Any ideas?

AlanHo Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 The guy has a very good positive rating on Ebay and some excellent feedback reports. I would take the chance. If it goes pear shaped - ruin his rating and be just £10 the worse off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 But isn't he advertising them for sale at that price or am I not reading the link properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 But isn't he advertising them for sale at that price or am I not reading the link properly?Did you not scroll down the page doug - it's quite clearly a repair job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike567 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I take it if the laptop is beyond repair as he states he says you will be charged £10, so i take it that includes the £45 you already payed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that if it were the case - he would have collected a few adverse reports.- but ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike567 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 He means I would get a refund of £35, so its not too bad I guess.So if i buy this anyone know the best delivery service to send it through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike567 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I'm not sure about royal mail well parcel force because they really don't handle any packages very well, I've got 1 soaked in water before and that was a electronic thing, another which has been ripped quite a lot.But citylink and UPS are expensive!!

rong Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 TNT just dump it on roundabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have sent a number of things via the local post office - including a laptop. I made sure the parcel was adequately packed (I was lucky - I had kept the original packing and box) and it arrived safely.You need to check the options for loss and damage insurance ....the standard cover is inadequate.
