[GRLUG] LCD replacement screen source

[Mike Williams]

I had a laptop repaired by LogicalPCS on Alpine about 6 months ago. I 
was looking for a hinge replacement, but they had a compatible refurbed 
entire lid available. The machine is working fine. I don't know how huge 
a stock of spare laptop parts they have around, but they might have what 
you need. They did a fine job with my machine, and I also have to 
respect them for honestly admitting that they weren't up for doing 
another, more difficult laptop repair job.

Which nicely brings up this question: I have a 2-year old Toshiba 
Satellite that is working fine, but I would like the option of adding 
another hard drive (likely and SSD) to it. Unfortunately, while the 
motherboard and chassis can clearly accommodate another drive, the 
connector for it was not soldered onto the motherboard. There are solder 
points for it but nothing there. Does anyone know of somebody who is a 
good enough hand with a soldering iron that they could add the connector 
without screwing up the motherboard?
