What are the chances a laptop repair store would carry parts for a HP track pad?

Question by Terreh Nguyen: What are the chances a laptop repair store would carry parts for a HP track pad?
The left button of the track pad is broken and can’t be out back on because the hinges connecting it are broken. I have thrown the pieces away, revealing the first layer of the inner workings; the silicon nipple and the metallic hinges. The plastic outer casing is broken and the internal plastic hinges are broken.

My Point: What are the chances a local computer repair store would have parts? Would they be able to repair it without opening the casing of the laptop?

The chances are they won’t have it, but how they work is that they buy in the parts and you pay for them to have that part fitted. So you will be able to get it fixed.

What are the downsides to purchasing a laptop in-store rather than online?

Question by Tarvold: What are the downsides to purchasing a laptop in-store rather than online?
I’m planning to buy a laptop for my sis (she’s heading to college) and I’m trying to figure out the pros and cons of buying online versus in-store.

My family has always purchased computer stuff from on-line sites (Dell, Alienware, etc) but in-store (ie. Circuit City, Target, etc) laptops are much cheaper and sometimes come with better options than online. But is there something extra from in-store items that would nip me in the back later on??

I’m not certain on this one. Plz help. Thanks!

The number one advantage of purchasing from a store is that if you have problems with the machine, you can immediately bring it back without having to worry about shipping. And if you need to get accessories for your new machine, they’re right there.

I purchase parts and accessories online a lot, but I like to get my mitts on a machine before I buy it. Plus, it’s less likely to be damaged in shipping.

Question by dannyasingh14: Does anyone know of a very good and cheap online new laptop store, please inform me?
I know laptops in general, are not cheap but I want to purchase one from an online website that sells brand new ones for good prices. Please let me know of the store or it’s website. I have already checked common stores such as Walmart, Bestbuy, Circuitcity, and so on. I am looking for uncommon stores. Please do not give a link to win a free laptop.
Thank you for reading my question, please answer. : ) : ) : )
