R60 lid replacement

#1 Post by gorgeous.george » Tue Oct 14, 2014 8:38 am

Hello everyone,
first time posting here, I hope I'm not asking something trivial.
Recently my R60 lid broke and I'm looking for a (cheap, obviously) replacement. On ebay I cannot find any spare R60 lid, so I was wondering if there is any compatible lid from other thinkpad models I could use.
Thanks,
George

Welcome to the forum!

No other lids are compatible. Do you need a 14" or a 15" ?

Thank you :)
It's a 15.4". I need the hinges too, but those I can find easily on ebay.

I never knew R60 came as 15.4"...but I guess that I still have stuff to learn...

You're probably right, I checked the specs for 9456-6FG and they say it's a 15"; so it's just me having faulty memory!

I suggest posting a WTB (want to buy) ad in the forum's marketplace...adding your location would help as well.

Good luck.
