This feature is a list of parts that members of this site are seeking (WANTED) to complete actual repairs for their customers. Only registered members can post their wanted parts to this report. Non members who may have any of these parts are recommended to become a subscribed user in order to offer this part to an existing member. Otherwise, non members may use the 'contact us' link and inquire using the parts reference ID for the particular part, (as specified in the details for the part) in their message. If the inquiry is deemed to be valid and has enough information present, we may refer the member to contact the non member. A YELLOW highlight means our system has located the part or a solution for the member, and is in process. A RED highlight means the part is urgently needed by the member. Other parts shown with no highlight are normal unavailable parts that are in the system more than 30 days and have not yet been located. Subscribed members can manage their wanted parts via a personal interface in their central ops panel.
This feature is a list of scrap , junkyard or incomplete consumer electronic units that members of this site have in their possession, and are willing to sell parts from, or liquidate the unit as is. Registered members can post their boneyard / junkyard units to this report without a subscription. Any users who may want individual parts from these units are recommended to become a subscribed user in order to connect with the actual owner. However, if the owner of the item in the boneyard is already a paying subscribed member, then we are able to ' Link ' the buyer and together at no fee to the registered user making the inquiry.
The forums are categorized by brand name specific sections and are available to any registered user. Registered users can make relevant brand-specific posts or respond to other forum posts, but cannot offer parts in response to wanted part requests in the forum unless they are a paying subscriber. Links to parts are also prohibited unless the website link belongs to a parts-link subscribing member or parts supplier.
