    Is the CF-51 battery cover the same as the CF-52 battery cover?

    I bought my laptop second hand with missing cover on the battery (and a broken USBs cover on the right - it closes but not strong enough as one of the hooks is broken). I couldn't find CF-52 battery cover in the net, but I found a CF-51 one in ebay UK. Pretty expensive ($14 + $10 delivery) for a risky buy (if it does not fit).

    Thanks for the info. Your 90% makes me 100% sure I won't buy it.

    I will wait to see if the previous owner will keep his word that "he will find it"... and if not - I'll think of an ugly custom solution.

    Nope...not even close. I am at work now but if you need one I will post a link for you later on. Since you need at least 5 post to send and receive PM's I will send you my ebay page and send me a PM that way. The link below shows these are sold out but will have more in very soon

    The battery will stay in place without a cover. It is locked in. I took my cover off and store it in a drawer. It can break easily.
