Optical Drive Bay Filler Part #?

#1 Post by Raindrop » Wed Sep 22, 2004 8:07 pm

Prior to posting I used the search function plus went through the IBM site looking for the Part # for the CDRW~DVD drive bay "filler". I ordered the 6 cell Li Ion battery for those times when I want to carry the bare minimum and would like to purchase the plastic filler piece for the optical drive area when I know I am not going to be using the DVD drive.

Part number and sourcing would be greatly appreciated.

Search through this forum. It's $20 plus shipping. Most people do without (you can buy a drive for that!)

:shock:

I did a search under optical drive bay filler, ultraslim bay, etc. etc. After reading about 50 threads that in the best case mentioned a "filler" but no part number or exact descriptive name I tried to do a search on the IBM site even drilling down through the various drive parts numbers with no success. In many instances I am doing presentations with clients that are Power Point or document related and the thought of a gaping hole in the side of my machine is not particularly palatable :oops: It is worth $20 + shipping to have my machine appear to be at least as professional as the level of expertise that I am offering.

ANY help in what to search for even would be appreciated.
