where do you get the replacement parts for charging port
Since HP does not supply the replacement ribbon, or many other parts for that matter, it is easiest to search on eBay and/or Craigslist for the parts needed. I found that the UK version of Amazon and eBay offer the best availability for such parts.

I had to stop at Step 1. The T4 Torx screwdriver is too big.
My apologies for the incorrect sizing of the Torx driver; please use a T3 sized driver, as it is the next size down from the T4.

do you have a product number for the charger strip?
