    Anyone have a source for the back case panel for my Extensa 5620z?

    Well, the back panel of my Extensa 5620z is cracking again. Right at the same place the first one did (right side above the hinge).

    Last time I found a brand new replacement for $80 on eBay. That was a little over a year ago. Now I am not seeing any out there. It's too bad, because I am otherwise satisfied with this (now aging) laptop.

    Anyone have an idea where Acer Extensa 5620 parts might still be available?

    If the price is more than $80, would be dumb for me to pay it. Probably better to move the hard drive from this laptop to a new machine and sell the rest of the working parts individually on eBay!

    Well, I fixed it (temporarily) with some strong duct tape. Actually matches the color of the LCD panel. :)

    With a new battery, I am happy with the Extensa again. When the cover finally cracks completely through (like last time), I may convert it to an HTPC or something.
