Correct Part Number for X220 Palmrest?

Hey,

I love my ThinkPad, but Like many others, the palmrest over my expresscard slot has cracked.

Lenovo parts site recommends 04W1411 for my product ID (4286CTO; no fingerprint reader), but I also see 04W2188/04W6550 listed in other places online. One eBay parts seller told me that 04W2188/04W6550 wasn't the right part for my system.

Which one is right?

I'm open to recommendations for eBay sellers or sites you've had a good experience with.

Thanks!

Welcome to thinkpads.com!

04W2188 is the palmrest for the X220 and X220i Tablet. Not sure what 04W6550 is since it's not listed in the X220/i Tablet HMM. For that matter, and to confuse things even more, 04W1411 is not listed in the current X200/i (non-tablet) HMM either. Rather, there's four different versions:

04W2182: Palm rest assembly with fingerprint reader
04W2183: Palm rest assembly without fingerprint reader
04W2189: Palm rest assembly with fingerprint reader and mSATA
04W2146: Palm rest assembly without fingerprint reader and with mSATA

04W1411 IS listed in a previous version of the HMM for the X220/i non-tablet; first edition dated April 2011: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc ... a60739.pdf
