| 1358167 | 2013-10-29 00:14:00 | Hi All My MBP died and I'm looking to get it fixed so my son can use it for a while. Most likely GPU as it still is starting up 25% of the way. Is there anyone here who does or knows of any affordable repairs around top of the South or Wellington? Thanks :-) |

| 1358169 | 2013-10-29 01:41:00 | Speedy, thanks. I have seen those pages when I did go through the web to do a symptoms based search. Found one shop on TM which is wanting 1150+gst to replace the LB. I think that is a bit much. | notechyet (4479) | ||
| 1358170 | 2013-10-29 01:48:00 | Try somewhere like Ebay. If you know what the exact part number is for the mobo, it maybe cheaper than trying to buy it off TM / in NZ. It's where I decided to go, (ebay.com.au) when I replaced the keyboard on the netbook here (the home keys were dead). It was a lot cheaper than the place that sells HP parts here |
