. He said new hinges fitted and while opening lappy back panel found cracked and also one wire got damaged which is very costly. He replaced all three stuff - 2 hinges, back panel and that wire... and charged me rs.4500/-. is this genuine ?sad part is I have given this lappy to hime even not asking charge as this source is through one of my close friend in the company ....
If all the replaced parts were original HP stuff, then probably the spares alone would have cost around 2.5 to 3k. By back panel, do you mean the bottom portion of the laptop, or the back of the lcd screen? If it is the latter, it would definitely be on the costlier side.well, as you know, DIY job already done for SSD.

However, I did get both the hinges replaced on my old Dell Inspiron, and the local tech did some jugaad for the cracked bottom panel, and it still works like a charm even after almost 2 years now. Best thing was, he charged me 800 rs for the entire job. I assumed he sourced the hinges from an old condemned laptop.
