Take a look at the hardware maintenance manuel to pick up the FRU you need. Here, in Europe (France and Belgium at least), it's possible to order directly from IBM and now from Lenovo any FRU or CRU. There is an *hard to find page* where any one could place order. You paid by banck transfert or visa and you got your FRU within 72 hours by UPS or DHL.

The U bezel cost about 20 € including VAT and shipping for a T60p. It's all about the same price for other ones I already order.

I don't think the scratched bezel or battery would be covered by the Lenovo warranty and you battery was first used in May 08, if I recall your previous posts on this, so it's not likely failed yet. You might be able to convince them to replace the keyboard but it sounds like it may not be installed quite properly - you might want to check that first. If you want them to cover the clicking of the LCD switch, they would definitely want you to return the computer to Solectron for service.... and you might be better off not doing that for anything other than a catastrophic failure!!!
