Help getting parts for DV6338SE

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
Hi there,

I'm trying to fix a HP laptop for a friend, a DV6338 special edition. Great little laptop, only problem is that she was in an accident and the screen was destroyed.

I've contacted HP countless times, and it's a flurry of incompetent CSRs, redirecting to phone numbers that don't work/ deal with laptops or the outsourced support who can do nothing but read off and answer questions that are preprogrammed.

Every time I contact them they tell me the part is not available in Canada (not in stock) but it is available in the USA, but they don't ship "overseas" to Canada so I MUST have family or friends in the USA to order the parts. No one is able to give me prices for the parts in CAD (Canadian Dollars) and every time they attempt to the prices are lower then their American counterparts.

So now I turn to you Notebookforums, I'm in serious need of a LCD display (p/n 431386-001) and a Bezel assembly kit (p/n 436260-001). Is there any place that will sell to Canada? I know these parts are very expensive but I'm willing to pay up if they're able to ship it. Are there other moels that are compatible? This laptop has a bezel with a webcam built into it.

I'd really appreciate any help.

I have checked Ebay but I don't know what I'm getting when I buy from Ebay. I've had nothing but problems buying stuff from ebay and to top it off no one has a bezel kit which I also require.

I spoke last night in a conference call with HP parts sales and after about 30minutes of chatting they told me they found the parts and they're able to ship them out!... as long as I'm able to give them a family or friends address thats located in the USA. I spent about 2hrs before EXPLAINING to these IDIOTS that I do not know anyone in the USA and yet they insist I make friends with someone there (they were obviously NOT from North America and was outsourced support).

I'm not even looking for the exact parts for my model, if I can find parts that are compatible with the DV6338se I'm 100% fine with that. Does anyone know what parts would be compatible? It's a standard 15.4" widescreen monitor with a glossy finish and the bezel has a webcam and mic.

I appreciate the offer, but I don't even know you If there was a way to guarantee I get the parts I'd definitely do it. I was screwed over once when someone offered to send me a screen for my Dell I9300. I lost $340 that day, now the stakes are a bit higher as I have to pay for both really expensive parts and shipping 2x.

If there's anyway to guarantee it I'd definitely do it, if you know of any way please contact me via PM or email @ EGM92 at Rogers.com

I can help. First question, do you need the bezel? Is the bezel broken or cracked that you can not reuse it? Just in case you are not sure what the Bezel is its the plastic external frame. <--(436260-001) Or is just the lcd damaged/cracked? PM me for more help or getting the part shipped to you. We ship to Canada.
