Laptop parts supply issue

[toffee_paul]

Is anyone else using predominately Lenovo client devices in their place of work having issues sourcing replacements replacement parts at the moment, specifically keyboards and laptops?

 

Lenovo's official parts service provider, Flex, consistently show no stock and when contacted directly said there's huge 6 month lead times. I know we've just had a pandemic and Chinese factories are probably not yet at full capacity but wondering whether this is just affecting Lenovo or all laptop manufacturers?

@ICTDirect_Dave may be able to help out here, as they deal with a lot of Lenovo laptops.

I've not tried to buy any laptop parts recently, but last I did I was trying to buy Lenovo Chromebook parts, and hit quite a long lead time. I gave up in the end and retired the faulty devices.

 

My supplier is Laptronics, [email protected], if you're looking for another option to try.

we're pretty good at t Series thinkpads 8th gen or older!

We'll get more modern stuff as it begins to hit the refurb market in some volume.

Have you tried eBay? I get most parts from there whenever I need bits and pieces
