Any Dell techs around?

I need to replace a hinge cover assembly for an Inspiron 700m and can't find any replacement parts via ebay - the only vendors that carry it online has pretty shady reps.

The part# is K5190 - LMK if there's any way I can buy one off you?

Why not contact Dell directly?

It'd make no difference at this point since the warranty is out. Figured I might either get it faster or get it for less

Something like that you're not going to find unless you buy a busted laptop on Ebay or order the part direct from Dell.

Probably won't cost much. Save yourself some hassle and call them and find out.

Resellerratings only has two reviews, but none stating about non-receipt of products or defective. Pretty cheap too.

Well according to the site there is only 3 in stock, so I wouldn't wait too long

Haven't dealt with them before, but its pretty cheap I guess to check. Dell would charge you an arm and a leg for that little thing.

So far they seem fairly responsive - within hours of the order I've received a confirmation and in the latter half of the day a shipping confirmation w/ the USPS tracking #.
I'll let you know when/if I receive it in the next couple of days.
