Question Titanium PB case

Hi, does anyone know the best place in the UK to get your Powerbook refurbished/repaired. It is out of warranty.

It is the lower outer part of the case that i need to have replaced/repaired as it was dropped and the corner has split. It still works perfectly but i would like to get it fixed if possible.

Any info appreciated.

Good luck - this part of the case isn't cheap (something like AUS $270 when I checked).

(sorry, don't live in the UK - just seeking to ease the potential shock a little)

Hey i have the same prob....
I was quoted about €100 (£70ish) including delivery from a company down in limerick. Then i went to my local authorised reseller in Belfast and told him my quote and he said they should be able to do it for less than that... but said he couldnt gimme a price or order the part without my computers serial number havent gotten around to going back
Your other option would be to watch ebay, some times parts come up... though ive been lookin for mine for quite a while now and i aint been lucky..
www.compub.ie (Irish company) their site is kinda useless but you can email them and they'll get back to you pretty quickly but try you're local reseller

Thanks. Yeah looked on E-bay, seen some hinges etc. I will keep looking, and also will drop that compub a line.
