Hi all. For the third time, the hinges in my laptop have broken free from their mounts in the bottom of the case (WHY DO THEY SCREW THEM INTO FUCKING PLASTIC?!?
), and I need to get hold of a replacement bottom half of the case (the part with the motherboard mounts, not just the removable access panel). Model's a 15.6" Clevo W650SH, but can I find the component? Can I buggery...
Was wondering if anyone would have any bright ideas as to component suppliers so I could find the damn thing. The only ones I've found seem to do top halves of the shell, motherboards, fans etc, but bottom halves? Nope...
Contacted PC Specialist, although I'm out of warranty (they've repaired it twice already, and have cautiously admitted it's a flaw in the design of the case as opposed to my hulk hogan type man strength), to see if I could get some information as they don't use that model anymore, but they simply said I should send it in to be repaired (£35 courier plus parts and labour, so probably another 50 quid, and being without the thing for the best part of two weeks. Ahem, no) and gave me no information whatsoever.
Help/abuse appreciated.
