Hey Jungle,
. Are you sure they are worth repairing, considering the cost of used, refurbed and even new notebooks? It might be more cost-effective just to pull the HDs and txfer the data to one of the above. If you decide you really want to repair them, I have had some experience in repairing notebooks while I worked for a Computer Renaissance franchise in Tallahassee (now OOB) - send me a PM.
