    Hi everybody

    First post here... I'm new to the Thoughbook world since I bought a used CF-W4 that got cheap but not 100% in shape. It was greasy on the palmrest and due to a bad and unexperienced cleaning method :( I managed to peel the paint on the DVD cover.

    Now I would like to know three things:

    1- Where can I get a hardware maintenance manual? (I've read the sticky thread here but could not find anything for my model)
    2- How to find out which part# the DVD cover is
    3- Appart from Ebay and alike, any good source to get used Toughbook parts (again I've read the links on the sticky thread but could not find anything for my model)

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    I get all my parts from fleabay. You gotta watch some of them sites that have service manuals for download, some can cost big bucks.
