Hey guys, I have a ProStar D5P (D500P), which is the same as a Sager 56xx (not sure which exact model, actually.)
The problem I'm having is that recently the back (solid) LCD bezel/cover cracked around the hinges, so I can't really open or close the lid without the cracks becoming much, much worse. The screen is hardly being supported right now, so I need to get it replaced ASAP.
ProStar, however want me to send it in (so I get charged for the inspection), then $35 for both LCD bezel parts (although only one needs replacing), and then a $150/hour labor charges.
Sager obviously aren't going to sell me the part because I don't have a Sager laptop, unless I give them a serial number belonging to a Sager.
I'm going to be perfectly honest: I can't *afford* that much money right now.
I know there are some websites that sell the part I need (everyone I've tried seem to be out of stock), and when I found one on eBay (from this forum) I was outbid on the part (made 'em pay $76 for it though!).
So I put to you, please, if you know where I can find this part, or if you're willing to sell me it from a junked laptop you have, please PM me, reply to this post, email me (raliyn@thelaststanding.com).
Thank you.
The specs for the laptop I have:
ProStar D5P (D500P)
15.1" LCD screen.
2.8GHz Intel P4 Processor.
512 (2x 256MB) DDR RAM (I upgraded to 2x 1GB DDR sticks, but I think 2x 256 was the original).
ATi Radeon 9600 Mobility.
That's all I know, the harddrive was changed before I bought it to a 14GB (second hand).
