Refurbish laptop

[Raymond Camden]

I've got a buddy who is looking for a place to help him refurbish a
laptop. Any ideas? I don't want to send him to BestBuy or anything
like that. Doghouse perhaps?

Doghouse would have the most options in stock if any. There really isn't much to them. If he's careful enough, he could get all his parts from NewEgg and do it himself.

doghouse can be an option, i can do it personally. when you say
refurbish, do you mean fresh os install? ram upgrade? hard drive
replacement?

No idea on what he wants. Just pinged him via SMS to try to figure out.

Well he just said he figured it out himself. Sorry for the noise all.

If anyone does have a recommendation, I'd be glad to hear it. My
parents have a laptop that needs a soldering job done on the power
connector. I don't have the patience with flimsy, snapped-together
plastic to touch it

I have at least 1 that needs the same soldering job :) as well

Doghouse has a guy that does soldering on mobos

[John Cuccia]

I can vouch for Doghouse.  They've done solder repairs to systems for me.

After you've sorted the solder repair please consider fitting a
LapTug, for c.$3 it greatly reduces the risk of the problem recurring
by using the network or modem port on the laptop as an additional
anchor point for the power lead, so that pulls on the cable don't
transmit through to the power socket.

I've lost too many laptops this way so we came up with this solution.
Sorry for the advert but I really think it can help. For more info
search eBay or visit http://www.laptug.co.uk/lt

If anybody still has any laptops they need refreshed/refurbished with strongest emphasis on data transference, please let me know.  I'm like everybody else and can use a little extra work on the side here and there.  I have a TON of slightly used parts that I collect like the tech pack rat I am (proudly), so if you have a few bings or bumps on it, maybe no need to go the whole find what you need on pricewatch.com, wait a week for snail-level ups to get it to you, then get it replaced.

Since it'll be side (hobby) work, I will work something out with you on rates that we could both live with and be happy with.  Flexible, in other words.... to a point.  ;)

(P.S.   ....and, NO, I hate spamming type forum posts too, but this thread obviously seeks out service of which I can easily and willingly (for a modest fee) provide.... SMILE)
