    Hey guys, as the post says above, am looking to buy the Travel Bezel for my T60... according to Lenovo's parts lookup is 13N5108... I can't seem to find a place online that sells it... although I did find one place charging $140 (!!!!) for this piece of plastic...

    I would have thought you could get it directly from Lenovo, but I could not find it on their site...

    I dont use my optical drive, so why lug it around? I am satisfied with my battery life, so I dont need the UltraBay battery, and I dont need another hard drive. THerefore the Travel Bezel would be nice.

    Call IBM parts help at 1-800-765-5944 and give the part number.

    You can order directly from there.

    I ordered some parts from the Canadian division this way once.

    You might want to post this in the forums on ThinkPads.com. I do occasionally see either bezels for sale or people requesting and getting them over there.

    It's basically a plastic mold that fits in your UltraBay for when you have nothing in it.

    The X40, T60, T61 can all use the same travel bezel.

    Basically, if the optical drive is compatible then the travel bezel is as well.

    During a laptop deployment at a company we threw out hundreds of these :D hahaha

    They come installed in x40 docking stations.

    I saved one for myself though :|
