    Does anyone know where I can get an LCD back cover for an M6N with a 15.1" (SXGA+) screen? Asus estore doesn't have any left.

    I've had one vendor tell me the 15.4" and 15.1" back covers are interchangable and that the only difference in chassis components for wide and 4:3 screens is the interior bezel. On the other hand, Justin @ Proportable says the 15.4" and 15.1" back covers are incompatible. Proportable has a few 15.1" covers left but these are engraved with their brand name.

    I haven't been able to track down any other parts vendors who will respond to my emails.

    Are there any other leads worth trying?

    Lets illustrate the 15,4" versus 15,1" like this:
    15,4" - http://www.bgslevi.cz/images_k/GAF09262.jpg
    15,1" - http://www.stolica.net/images/mobile/asus-m5n.jpg

    I'd say that you would need a regular 4:3 aspect ratio 15,1" bezel for a 15,1" screen, not a 16:10 aspect ratio 15,4" one, period.
