    (I hope I'm putting this in the right section...)

    I think I need to replace the back cover on my HP DV6000. One corner is gone; plastic pieces chipped away, leaving a kind of sharp edge and hole where the corner used to be. The part number is 431389-001. I'm just interested in this part because the laptop is working just fine and the rest of the parts are in tact.

    I went to HP's website to find a manual, and it gives a detailed description on how to replace the cover. I also have a $10-off coupon for HP products >=$50 that expires in November. My warranty is gone now, so should I maybe replace the cover myself?

    yes you should replace if yourseft in particular that you have the maintenace guide. For the lid try ebay (it's cheaper).

    Alright. Do the screws need to be replaced, or can I simply use the screws that come with the laptop? I ask this because a screw kit was listed on the site, as well (part number 431399-001).

    You can just re-use the screws in there.

    Make sure you look at the video guide too, Good luck.

    I didn't even know about the how-to videos. I thank both of you for your help.
