Doooooooooooooooh
I just bought my thinkpad t42p. Today I got up and walked away and my foot caught on the power cord. Down she came. She seems to be allright except I just noticed a little crack on the plastic plate where your wrists rest as you type. Woe is me! I know it's a small thing but is there a way to get a replacement plastic plate? I know I will stare at the [censored] crack every time I open my thinkpad.
Anyways I'm happy the thing still works! These things are built tough. Poor Lucy came down with a crash. Yes, I named her Lucy and no, I don't think that's sad and a little pathetic.

Yes. I believe you can purchase pretty much every part of TP separately from IBM. Which is one of the things that I love about IBM.

Anyways, you will probably have to find the service part number (FRU) for your palm rest.

if you go to the link, there is the FRU for the palm w/o touchpad.

For installation you can also view the removal and installation movie here:
