Well.. its about time to get a new one.. BUT it has been good to me.. its a dell inspiron 5100 .. We got drunk the other night.. and it was dropped and the usb connectors broke.. I opened it up and it looks like i can just replace the usb hub thingy on the board, just need to resolder it if i get a new one.. Anyone know where to get replacement parts? or do i have to go through dell?
Too bad my warranty Just ran out.. lol.. but it would be cool to be able to get the thing fixed.. If i can I will reformat it and give it to my mom for the house in Nicaragua.. so any links or leads on where to get the hub thingy..? ill upload a pic in a bit.. |
ebay ftw! I got my dell laptop parts from there, pretty cheap too.

i arent going to be able to buy new dell parts, especially something like that. laptops arent all that configurable with things like that.
I feel your pain, i had the power connection go **** on my hp and i loved that laptop, pissed me off to be spending another 1800 on a laptop i didnt really want. but i did get a 17 inch screen |
