570 plastic

#1 Post by carbon_unit » Fri Oct 08, 2004 12:44 pm

I have a 570 here that is the culmination of all my broken parts. I plan to keep it as a "beater" laptop but I would like to fix some of the cracked plastic on it. There is a crack on the wrist rest and on the bottom of the LCD housing. Can these be glued? What kind of glue works on this plastic?

Does anyone at least know what kind of plastic is used in the display bezel and the wrist rest?

ABS. There are almost no glues that will work on it.

Far better to find some 570 parts cheap on eBay.

Hello Carbon_unit,
I have some case parts in my collection. I believe I can help you if you still need the bezel and palm rest cover.

Hi laseray,
I have that taken care of now but I could use a Hard Drive cover and caddy. Do you have that?
