Camera Sticker on T510

[eric_lhy]

I have installed a integrated camera which bought from ebay on my T510. However, according to the seller, the camera sticker is only originally suitable for T410. As the result, it is not match with those holes.
So do you guy know that where I could purchase the camera sticker, as I just do not want the dust/dirt dropped from those tiny holes.

Last year I added a webcam to my T410 and needed the cover plate. I was able to get one from this seller on eBay: http://myworld.ebay.com/new-think

In fact, here is the listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... OC:US:1123

Initially, he didn't have any, but I sent him a message through eBay and within a few weeks he got some to list.

I know you are looking for a cover for a T510. I searched his listings but didn't see any T510 covers listed.

I would suggest you do what I did and message him through eBay and ask if he has or can get any covers for the T510.

He is located in China and seems to have a pretty good connection with the lenovo factory. It took several weeks for the package (envelope) to clear customs and arrive at my door, but when I got it, it was exactly the right cover. I had good luck with this seller.

Good luck!

Cheers, nikki605. Just sent email to the seller, hopefully he could get the cover.

If I remember correctly, he replied pretty quickly to my initial message that he didn't have any. But he remembered. Two to 3 weeks later, he sent another message that he now had them & gave me the link to the listing.

So, even if he doesn't have any right now, don't give up hope unless he says right up front that he can no longer get them.

Fingers crossed for you. Let us know how it works out.

Nice, I emailed the seller and he agreed to send me the T510 camera sticker by placing the order on T410 one! Just cost a few quids and surprisingly the shipping is free of charge.
This is a good deal, actually!

[nikki605]

So he had a T510 cover plate but just didn't have it listed - cool. Yeah, I liked the free shipping, too.

I hope it's the right part and it gets to you OK. I wouldn't want you to get mad at me for giving you a bum reference.

Let us know how it turns out.

Btw, do you know how long does it take to ship to your place? As I have placed an order at the end of March, till now still have not received it..... Am a bit worried.........

[nikki605]

I can't remember exactly but I think it was at least 3 weeks. About the time I started to get worried, it showed up. You can always send him another message to check, but anything coming through Customs is a crap shoot and he can't control that.

[eric_lhy]

Haha, it is just about 3 weeks for mine, so I think I should give it another week to wait for it.

That is so bad, I just emailed me regarding the shipment, and he was quite rude in the reply. Btw, when you purchased the item from him, did he give you the tracking number? You know, I asked if he could track where the item is at the moment, he said what I would expect from him.

[nikki605]

No, there was no tracking number. It arrived regular mail in a simple envelope, not FedEx, UPS or DHL so there was no tracking number. Coming from overseas, there would be no way for him to track it either.

[eric_lhy]

I understand that there is no tracking number as he didn't charge the postal fee. So my only choice is to wait for it!! Hope it would come!

[eric_lhy]

Finally, I have no choice and opened a case against him, since eBay informed me that I cannot open case after 06 May. The seller refunded me promptly.

[nikki605]

Wow, sorry you had a problem. That was the only suggestion I had.

At least your money was refunded.
