LF: Information on replacement parts for x61t

[dtwn]

I recently purchased (approximately 6 hours ago) a used X61t. It has some scuffs, but the overall condition is decent with 3 exceptions.

1) The centre latch is broken. (I did my research on a number of websites, including this one, and I've ordered a replacement part from Ebay. Replacement doesn't look too tough.)

2)


The cover for the PCMCIA/SD card is missing. I do not know if these two slots are working but have no plans for using them, so I don't particularly mind. However, is there anyway of testing these slots aside from sticking something in and seeing if it works. I do think that it looks particularly hideous and do not want the extra dust/dirt that is floating in my new purchase. I would like to purchase a replacement part, but I can't seem to find any particular part on the Lenovo parts list. Could someone lend me a hand?

3) The stylus is working without an issue, but removing it from the machine is incredibly difficult. (Could that be a pen assembly issue?)

Once I get all the hardware issues fixed out, I'll probably attempt to purchase an Atheros WIFI card and begin a process to dual boot with Win 7 and OSX. It's currently running Vista Business.
