    I just got my m6805 back after getting the hinge covers repaired. Naturally I was very impressed with the 4 day turn-a-round and felt all warm and fuzzy. However, when I opened up the lid I noticed the 6 little LCD bezel screws were naked and exposed ,no black rubber plugs were replaced. They're probably rolling on the floor somewhere in Texas. Damned irritating!


    I called eMachines and was told they can't just send me the 6 rubber plugs---I'll have to send the notebook back to their repair facility to have a highly skilled technician stuff those little plugs in the screw holes. Has this happened to anyone else or am I being punished for downloading all that porn?

    I'm sorry to hear that, I do hope they're paying for all the shipping costs for these repairs.

    that's terrible, so now your notebook is going to be held hostage for screw covers to be replaced. sorry for your troubles there [V]

    Thanks for kind words of sympathy guys, it helps. Emachines is paying for the shipping which is good. I just wonder how much this oversight will cost them, I mean they could've sent me the little screw covers for less than a buck. Well,in reality this is such a minor problem when compared to recent world events.

    Look on the bright side-they are fixing the issue. And after only three or four months.

    I too have a 6805 with the same problem, hinges. They said they would fix it I just can't part with it, they said 2-3 weeks at the most, it's good to hear about the 4 day turnaround. Maybe I should pull the rubber plugs and keep them here though.

    That's a good idea picFx. I wonder if removing those screw plugs would void the warranty LOL. I've heard of some wacky policies from those people.
