I picked up a dead HP Pavilion N3290 in very nice shape only thing is it would not power up. I get it home take it apart and find the the Motherboard has taken a surge.
Well I hit the net looking for a new motherboard or for someone to repair this. I found a few places that wanted to charge 100 bucks just to look at it and 2 places that said they had new ones for 600 bucks (MB that is)
Yes HP was the first place I call with no luck. So now im on ebay bidding on laptops that has dead screens and was always out bid (ebay fools pay way tooo much) anyway im bummed now so I call HP back.
After going up the food chain I find out that HP has a repair program, 298 to fix anything but the screen and 600 to fix a screen. So I send it in.
Now its 7 days later and fedEx brings it back. It now has a new MB, keyboard,DVD and a new IBM 6gig drive!!!! and BTW I put a dead 4gig in
They put it back to the state it was in when it was new.Hopes this helps someone
