    hello! i'm looking at getting a busted up m17x to restore for fun/resale. i'm bidding on an as-is system right now with no bottom pannels, keyboard, or power button/ media bar and a power jack issue. i already ordered most of the parts i need (bottom panels, screws, and new power connector), but i can't for the life of me find a US FX keyboard or power button/media bar that goes across the top beneath the screen (at least not any that aren't absurdly priced). if someone could help me find them or offer to sell them (i prefer buying through eBay), i would be most grateful.

    i've gone ahead and got a working m17x r1 now, so now i can use some of its parts to test the repair unit.
    if anyone knows where to get a couple 9800m cards, i'm all ears.
