Hi guys,

Im looking for the best place to get a new bezel for my X200Tablet. Id like the bezel to be shipped to Europe. Do you know any sellers who offer shipping aboard ?

There is a place called thinkpad online on ebay buy they are a bit too expensive for my taste ...

Thanks a lot !

Ah ... their service is a joke, you cant even dial in to them ... even if you do their help is worth nothing. They dont sell recovery dvds, their are just plain dumb ... when I read storries that Lenovo USA support sends somebody free recovery discs Im just jealous ... This is the kind of support we would love all to have here in Europe ...

I wanted to buy recovery dvds for my X200T. They dont sale any. They would want me to send in my brand new tablet to them and pay some crazy price like 60-90 USD for installing the system from recovery dvds ...

If its so big hassle with recovery dvds lets forget about any hardware parts ... :(

Yes, I have seen this.

This is a bezel for touch and pen input model. I have the frameless model which has only bottom bezel. It pens input only, its called Superbright, its "old" one.

ThinkPadTablet: Try to contact Slovak lenovo. They are sending recovery cd´s for free. They sent me one set for t23 and one for x41.
BTW: it is not sending directly from Slovakia.

Second thing you should take a look on torrents, I saw there some recovery cd´s.

Where do they send them from then ?

I get recovery dvds from the USA, and Im happy with it. Cheaper and faster than bothering with guys here ...

That part is $51.50 direct from Lenovo USA.

This one ships to Europe - (Looks like $86 shipped to Poland)

You may be stuck paying that price. Even directly from Lenovo USA...after tax, and shipping to Poland (assuming someone in the US bought it for you) it would be more than $86.
