I looked at the time, it said their supplier is GA for that part
GA have not had that part on their books since at least 2015. And it hasn’t been on their website for at least 3 years.
So to say it’s the SUPPLIER fault is bullsh*t. It is THEIR fault.
I am on the phone to EMPR computer parts (Toshiba registered preferred supplier). I ordered an internal screen cable 21/9/20. 4-6 week lead time. Turns out they cancelled the order on the 14/10 and never told me.
Luckily I pulled the laptop down and did a temp fix. For a 5 year old nearly $2000 laptop at the time, that is complete and utter bullsh*t.
Will be going HP next time, who apparently keep parts 10-15 years.
