Muppet here... broke the catch on his T60...

[DR]

Anyone got any ideas where I can find a replacement? The little plastic catch which is in the monitor lip - help.... IBM T60....

[IAmATeaf]

Superglue maybe?

[DR]

I don't have the bit which came off

I don't mind what it costs (within reason of course...) I want to fix it properly

This company is in the US, but has a huge list:
http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/I...top,Parts.aspx

Here is a company in the UK, not such a list:
http://www.ccd.co.uk/xpress/Catalogu...pt=J02&man=IBM

And another:
http://www.laptopbits.co.uk/Database...inkpad_T60.htm

Might be worth calling them.

EDIT: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=IBM...&start=10&sa=N was my search string

Have you tried Ebay as you maybe able to get secondhand bits from people who broke their notebooks??
This usually means a smashed screen or liquid spill.

Funkstar - I will give them a go cheers!

Ebay will be the cheapest place to buy bits as I have repaired a few notebooks myself. Even some computer shops do the same!!

For instance this listing has a T60 LCD cover for sale:

You could always contact the seller as many of them get broken notebooks(insurance write-off's) which are sold for spare parts.

I have a daily search on eBay

Also - I called up all shops on the list and none of them can help

anyone selling the screens for them ? an email to anyone with a screen may have the rest of the parts you need for the catch?

also worth looking at pics of other models to see if things look the same
