600X Keyboard Bezel

#1 Post by ms5133 » Wed Aug 15, 2007 8:59 am

The 600X in my sig is a recent acquisition ex E Bay. It was described as "clean" and thus in a fit of enthusiasm I probably over-paid(USD92 plus USD30 shipping).


To my dismay it arrived with a 1 in. crack in the keyboard bezel near the left hinge .


To make a long story short, the buyer is going to provide a "clean" 600E bezel.
This was the best of the options he was willing to entertain.


My question is this..is it possible, without having surgical skills, to remove the 600E ID tag on the bezel and replace it with the
600X tag ? It looks like it may just be a stick-on deal.

The rest of the unit really is in good shape, and its slowly growing on me.


My daughter may have to take the R50 for her school machine.

600X sticker

The sticker can be carefully removed from the one keyboard and placed on the next. I've done several; the key is not to curl the sticker. Try to keep it as flat as possible. After you slightly lift one corner, slide something thin underneath. Don't bend it back to get it unstuck. It seems to me that sticker behaves a lot like the round black screw covers elsewhere on the 600 series.
