T2X base rubber feet ... you got'em? I need'em If you have a T2X LCD bezel in nice condition I need one of those too ...

LCD bezel, but not the lid, right? I think I have a good 14.1" one.

I may have the feet, too. I have a dead T20 base.

14" LCD bezels on the T2x series need to match the lid it's being installed on. In other words, if the lid has the built-in WiFi antennas, then you need the bezel that goes with it. There's slight differences in the placement of the hooks and overall size of the bezel:

Thanks James and Ray. Here are the specs for the machine -

Product: ThinkPad T21 2647-CSU
Operating system: All
Original description: PIII 800MHz (256KB), 192MB RAM, 20.0GB HDD, 14.1 TFT 1024x768, 8x-2.3x DVD, Intel Combo, TV out, Li-Ion Batt, Win2000

Looking up the LCD bezel in Rays thread I believe I need one for a non-wifi machine. Is there a way to check without taking it apart?

Harry,

Based on the description that you just posted, it isn't the wi-fi model. If it makes you feel more confident, feel the upper 1.5 inches on the sides of your LCD and see if you have a grooved plastic surface, that would indicate antennas...

Grooved...nope it's perfectly smooth. Thanks for the tip. I still am not sure which part to look for though. The non-wifi LCD bezel part number mentioned in Rays thread is for a T23 I think, or are the T21 and T23 non-wifi bezels the same?

Yes they are, for the same screen size, obviously. You're in the clear.

Thanks George. So to summarize, I am looking for a LCD bezel for a non-wifi T2X machine with FRU 26P9381 etched on it, along with a set of rubber feet for a 14.1 " T2X.

Parts found thanks to jamiphar.
