    hello,

    I have a Acer Travelmate 2420 that needs a new LCD back cover... The hinges were/are overly tight and over time the back cover has cracked and now it is to the point where replacement part is necessary..

    the part number is 60.TB2V1.004 butr I am having difficulty tracking it down..

    I have found a site that lists itm, but does not have it in stock..

    although i am due for a notebook upgrade..i would like to repair this one for a spare home user for my wife or children

    any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

    I did a search on eBAY , and its dry too.

    For other laptops with 15.4 " there is lots of them .
    For the 14" are none .

    Be patient .. and if possible check eBAY frequently .

    Yes, I had similar results and came to the conclusion that I may be SOL... I thought the 14.1 was more common than that? I had a reply back from BlueGoose Systems, a European based parts site, and they do not ship to Canada...

    know of any CDN deals on a new laptop?... LOL
