where can I find the replacement part?
Hello, first I just wanted to say thank you so much for writing these guides! You’re a super hero…. now then, I find myself in quite a pickle. I have an HP 15-b123cl with a screen that’s broken. I need to resolder one of the connectors. I have a picture that will show you which connector I need to fix, but I can’t post a picture in this comment section… all I need is a picture of the display connector on the top left of the motherboard. I even checked ifixit for some way of messaging you directly, but no luck :(… all I can think to do is give you my personal email address and hope that you send me something! Anyways… THANKS ERIN
