    Does anyone know where can I find replacement parts for an A8Js laptop?

    I'm just looking the touch pad button because after some years using it, it looks very ugly !!
    This is the part

    13GNF51AP113-1

    The only supplier is estore.asus.com but I'm in England.

    I'm thinking seriously to change this cover for another compatible model but I don't know what others keep the same size.

    Thanks

    I wouldn't suggest letting the UK Asus repair techs even go near your laptop, but you could ask if they are able to ship you the parts. If not, then your next best option is to ask a friend in the US/Canada to order the parts for you and have him ship them to the UK. :)

    It is only a $7 thingy... (+$10 shipping fee, I presume)

    I think the best way is to ask a friend of you in the US or Canada and ship it to you in an UPS/FedEx letter. All should cost less than $30 to you...

    You can try to read some nightmare ASUS UK Repair Review before you get or send notebook to ASUS UK.
