    About 2 years ago I started having problems with my A8JP. First it started overheating, then becomming sluggish and not much later the LCD hinges started to come apart. Finally it took a spill and the screen is heavily dammaged. I'm debating on whether or not it is worth repairing. I have experience in computer repair so the difficulty/risk does not bother me.

    I need to know where to buy parts such as: Hinges, Keyboard, CPU HSF (if necessary), LCD and top LCD bezel.

    I see that I can purchase an LCD display and keyboard relatively cheap on eBay, but I cannot find the other parts. Are there any good/cheap places to buy these things?

    Also, my A8JP came with a WXGA+ screen. Will I have any porblems installing a WXGA screen?

    Thanks,
    David

    I ended up buying a complete Z99 assembly on eBay. Hope it'll fit.
