Dell Inspiron E1405 Damage
I just got my Inspiron in late December. It's great except I accidently scratched the top of it while it slid under the seat in my car. The scratch is around 3" and is towards the back of the top cover. Is there anyway to replace this or fix it? The scratch is pretty deep into the plastic. I'd love to get a replacement cover and just go from there. I'm very about scratchs and such, espacially on new items.
Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Great, thats exactly what I wanted to hear! Does it matter if mine is towards the rear? It's on the part that connects the screen to the main computer.286

I think you are right, it is the hinge cover. Just to make sure I attached some pictures...286

All the parts are replaceable - it sounds like you're talking about the hinge cover(s).286

if you want to know a cheap and easy fix just get some silver metalic touchup paint for a car i believe the correct color is silver mica metalic all you need is a very steady hand and a paper towel to wipe off excess and that should work286

Thanks, but like I said I am an perfectionist so I will probably have to buy a replacement part... ;)286

Can anyone confirm the part I need? It's kind of hard to explain it to the parts dept.286

Is there anyone on this forum that can point me in the right direction with getting this part fixed? Anyone? I know there has to be someone who knows what part it roughly is.130

It appears the hinge cover is the wrong part. You need the back of the display assembly. I'm sure a call to the Dell parts dept can help.
