    I need a pair of LCD hinges urgently and , also, a replacement ribbon cable for the IR board for a CF-28.

    Payment by Paypal and shipping to UK

    Thanks, Capt.
    The IR cable (infrared) is the flat ribbon from the IR board to the main pcb.
    Can you tell me how much for hinges and cable + shipping to UK?
    Can pay by Paypal.

    Parts would be $14.00US, shipping $12.30US. I need to know which model it is as the hinges are different, not much but it might save you a little grinding if you get the right ones.
    Let me know your pleasure,

    Thanks for the quick reply. What are you doing up at this time of day (in the US)?
    All I can tell you is that the model is CF28 -PRJGZQM, and the OS is XP.
    Also, the service nmanual I downloaded from the forum is fine, but the pcb layouts are different to those on this model- which makes finding components a little difficult!
    Have you got an address to which I can make payment?

    That's plenty of information, some of the CF-28s have a dimple where the hinge fits, some don't, I just want to be sure to send the right ones. Send a message to capt.dogfish on eBay with your email address and I'll get right back to you. A guy from Norway taught me this trick. Or you can post your email here.
