[ubuntu-uk] [OT] Recommendations for laptop spares suppliers
Can anybody recommend a reputable supplier for a new keyboard for a HP Compaq Presario CQ70 laptop? Thought that I should ask before just picking a random guy on eBay! :-) -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] [OT] Recommendations for laptop spares suppliers
Don't know a supplier but could you Google the id code of the keyboard if you have removed it or can remove it. A lot of the time the manufacturer comes up so you can contact them. There must be a parts used in laptop catalog somewhere. Have you tried googling to see whether that takes you anywhere? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Misco often stock spares for numerous machines, however I have found them to charge a fair sized chunk of the earth. -- Kris Douglas. www.krisd.eu -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

They deliver quickly and the prices might be a bit more than eBay but they're an established business. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood "TBA are particularly glib" -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Same with virgin media (wanted their free programs). I would think it is better to end in a positive tone. "Ok thanks, I'll think about it, can I provide feedback?" Might go down a black hole but it is recorded. Other than that, agreed, having no OS is great! You can then get home support for less than £100 a year from canonical (as I recall). That is around the same price as renewing your antivirus every year with windows. Though i have heard w7 and w8 have there essential antivirus bundled in or do not need antivirus any more? Plus Hardware should still have the 1 year warranty? Not the best news but good news! Thanks for sharing the chat! Omgubuntu claim there is an asus netbook around. That seems promising as well. Thinkpinguin.com and system76 are still top of my list when i buy a new laptop. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
