    Greets.
    Unfortunatly I messed up the case from my W3. Some paint falled out. I need to know if it is possible to order just the part I messed up, and the price of it.
    The part is marked on the following picture

    Thanks in advance.

    Why heck ... it is smaller than your fingernail ... try some matching spray paint ... not worth the trouble to try to replace that part.

    Wow...looks like you dropped it or chipped it real bad...
    although I think a replacement part is necessary (and probably expensive).
    I agree with spray paint or another alternative.

    Oh man. I feel for you! If I had done that with my w3v I'd be freaking out. :(

    Looking at my w3v, it looks like they would have to replace the entire lid. Asus is being really protective of the w3v parts, therefore I would guess you are going to have to send it in to Asus directly for replacement.

    Call Asus technical support and they will give you directions to mail it in. I would think that it shouldn't be too expensive, however you'll probably need to pay for shipping and, unfortunately, be without your lappy for awhile.

    The strange thing is that the paint went out inside the carry bag suplied by ASUS. There is even some paint residues on the bag...
    And funny thing is that I can't remember the laptop falling down.
    Well... my information is min 100€ (80$) for it to be repaired :(
