I found a service manual for it on ebay.
I'm willing to risk taking it apart. voiding the warranty.

is it possible to buy parts for it?
does anybody or anywhere sell them?

Main thing:
What's wrong/broken??

If the machine is still under warranty (normally 3 years, certain
entry level models 2 years only) why not have the machine serviced by
HP?

You may check warranty here:

Yes, to a certain extent.

HP. Pls see their Parts Store:

Another source might be eBay. There are "ruins" sold for parts offered
from time to time.

after 3 years. Or if I buy it on ebay the warranty if there is one may
expire after a year.

Sorry, but I simply do not understand what your asking might be about.
You don't have a problem and are just thinking in terms of "in case
...." ??

No. Warranty does not depend on where and from whom you buy a
HP/COMPAQ device.
It's just model specific.

If you do not already have a tc1100 and are looking to buy one on eBay
(the series has been discontinued by HP app. a year ago, so there is
no new ones any more):
Prior to buying ask the seller for the part-number and the serial
number. Then go to the site quoted in my last posting and enter the
data there. So you'll find out about the rest of warranty.
