    I have an out of warranty T61 that is missing one of the small rubber feet on the base, on the front side.

    I called the place to order parts, and they said that they charge a $399 service fee for parts ordered on the weekend.

    Anyone know where I can get these, or how the hell they justify that surcharge?

    Call them during the weekdays instead of the weekend. Otherwise, try eBay.

    yeah you can try weekend. you know something for the t61 the rubber foot for $399 is really wierd. so hey i think they mean the whole base for the bottom that is how much that cost. the thinkpad t61 rubber foots are only 20dallors fro everything. give them a call and ask them again.

    Try not to drag it across the table. 4 hun for a rubber foot is absurd. Call and ask nicely.
