    I bought a open box barebone M3N, which arrived missing the small 40 pin to proprietary ASUS adapter, the vendor is leaving town for a while and gave me a nice refund, but it is up to me to find one. Does anyone know a source for these???

    Asus sent him one. I found out we didn't have any extra ones around and in the mean time I think he got asus to send one his way.

    Thanks,

    Ye if you call Albert or Mila and he is in a good mood he will send you any small item free of charge as long as its not coded to have resale value. Rubber feed, plastic panels, buttons, screws, hdd adpators apparantly are free. I didnt know they provide this service for end users too. Pretty nice of them.

    it wasn't free - $10 + $8 shipping, and they send the adapter with caddy and a bottom cover - they use a 18x10x6 box to ship, i thought I was getting a new lappy when I first saw the box. maybe asus was a texas company in its former life, big, big, big.

    Oh they charged you for it and they didn't send you somewhere else to pick it up first?

    either way, you got one........ but where'd you get the computer from? If it was supposed to be "new" and it didn't have it, it was their responsibility to replace it for you.

    Thanks,
