Their part number is HP 685089-001. Would like to get a second hand one but all the broken laptops I have access to are different.	tut (12033)
1415068	2016-01-26 03:15:00	Would be helpful if you told us what the PC is. Laptops use proprietary connectors and getting the right one can be tricky or expensive. Last time I got one from E-bay, took 2 tries to get the right one at a total cost of about $20 but locally it was nearer to $80	dugimodo (138)

Cost of the part here is around $80. I only have this tablet and find searching the net difficult. Will see if I can get eBay.	tut (12033)
1415070	2016-01-26 03:50:00	On e-bay search the part number you have, easiest way to get the right one. Can take a few weeks to arrive but that's the price you pay for a cheap alternative. Check for the sellers feedback rating also.	dugimodo (138)
1415071	2016-01-26 04:19:00	Have just ordered one off eBay. There were two so got the cheaper as I have never used eBay in case things didn't work. How long does it normally take from the States?	tut (12033)
1415072	2016-01-26 05:34:00	Items I have bought take about three weeks, that's from Europe or China though.	Driftwood (5551)
1415073	2016-01-26 05:48:00	Depends, some US sellers that charge for postage get it here inside a week compared to some chinese suppliers with free shipping that can take a month or more. No telling in practice, but if they give you a tracking number you may be able to follow it's progress a bit.	dugimodo (138)
