    Why is it so hard to find chassis parts for my laptop? Twice now the tabs have broken on the HDD bay cover. The first time they replaced it. Now since it is out of warranty they refer me to two places that I can order it from. The problem is that neither have the part and the second one said it had not even been released to them yet.

    Does anyone have any broken P-7805u laptops that are damaged beyond repair yet have intact chassis parts?

    The part number in question is 60.W2301.002 but it won't have that on the part if you have never had it replaced before. There is a site that claims to have them so I requested a quote but... I really need 2 because a friend of mind has the same issue and it is the same exact tabs.

    P.S. - I may just take it down to Best Buy and finally exercise my warranty rights and get this flickering lcd fixed too.
