Would be interested in hearing opinions about which laptops are the
easiest to repair.
Thanks.

I should add that I'm looking to buy a laptop and am into repairing our
computers, so I'm interested in getting one that is easy to repair, has
good repair manuals, easy to get parts, etc.

Please log in for more thread options Parts are never easy to get. IBM's documentation and parts policy was
among the best, however now that IBM sold that business to Lenovo, I
don't know the status of parts and service documentation. Other brands
vary so much from model to model that you can't generalize. For
example, some Toshiba models are wonderful, some are a real bitch.

Laptops are disposable consumer products. They are repaired only at the
subassembly level. Parts are readily available (but prohibitively
expensive) for most major brands - IBM/Lenovo, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba,
Acer, Compaq/HP etc. eBay is the only affordable source for parts if
your problem is not covered by a warranty.
Repair manuals vary from freely downloadable to closely guarded
proprietary secrets. But they don't often tell you anything that
careful, experienced tugging and unscrewing wouldn't. Certainly there
are no schematics, test waveforms, or other data of this nature. They
just give you a flowchart of subassemblies to replace given a
particular symptom, and diagrams for removing and replacing a given
part. Much of the specialized advice will be ignored anyway (how many
people actually throw away the machine screws in their ThinkPad and
replace wth new ones every time they open it?)
