OT: Replacement parts for ThinkPad

["graham_howe" <graham@xxxxxxx>]

My thinkpad is in a bad way (fortunately it lasted through the 
presentation on Friday) and I need to get a couple of replacement 
parts. First of all the 'Keyboard Bezel' (IBM part no: #08K6088) is 
broken on both sides which allows the base of the unit to flex, 
sometimes resulting in the screen blanking and often interfering with 
the operation of the keyboard. Second, the hard disk failed last 
night making rather unpleasant noises and resulting in coruption to 
my profile. Fortunately all data is held on my server, so nothing is 
lost (other than time installing applications) but I do need to get 
this fixed as soon as possible.

Obviously the hard disk can be replaced with a wide range of disks, 
but I am looking for recommendations on supplier, make and model. The 
keyboard bezel though is a different matter, I have no idea where to 
even start looking for one, can anyone suggest a vendor?

The laptop in question is a thinkpad T20.

Thanks

Graham

P.S. If anyone has this model, I am missing the original installation 
disks and although I have already rebuilt it once and installed XP on 
it, I do not have a copy of the DVD software (IBM only have the 
upgrade on their site) and it would be nice to get that working 
again. I know that there is other software available, but would like 
to try the original first if possible.
