I am wondering where people obtain parts for repairing PowerBooks. My sources have been:
1. eBay (of course) - a mixed bag, but tonyzz has been reliable consistently.
2. www.PowerBookmedic.com - running low on supplies. I‘ve had mixed results from them, but have found customer service to respond quickly and satisfactorily to problems. I recently ordered their last two blowers for the 867MHz/1GHz TiBook. One of the items was a fan for the 800MHz TiBook. Mere hours after contacting them about it, they had refunded half the order and shipping costs.
3. www.DVwarehouse.com - sent hinge covers missing a lot of paint described as “like new;” similarly great customer service as above.
4. www.impactcomputers.com - mixed results - an lcd in like-new condition contained a couple faint white spots. I realized this after installing it into a case, so cannot assess customer service. Some items listed as being in stock are not. Other purchases have been great, though.
5. www.usedmac.com - I placed an order for Pismo bare LCD, TiBook bare lcd, and TiBook case, They sent an entire Pismo display assembly (in excellent condition), an entire TiBook display assembly in unusable condition (I harvested the hinges and bezel, but had to trash the rest), and a TiBook case in excellent condition.
Are there any other sources out there? What have your experiences been?
