    Yesterday my son (5 years old) wanted to help mom clean up and decided to throw away the ultrabay keys to my X200. The trash pickup was this morning and he only admitted to throwing the keys away this morning, of course, after the trash pickup. It's not in the locked position so I'm able to undock the X200 and use it away from the doc. Does anyone know how to get replacement keys to the ultrabay dock? I tried the ones from my W500 but those don't come close to fitting.

    Have you done an ebay search?

    I bet you can find spanking paddles there at the same time, too. One-stop shopping. ;)

    Did you loose both keys, or you happened to put 1 of them somewhere safe? :)

    I think you can't get them on eBay, as they are different for each particular Ultrabase lock... at least I think!

    Lead Org: Yes, I meant Ultrabase. I guess I was too upset when I was typing the post. Thanks for the link, it's what I'm looking for.

    unreal: You're right, I just checked and Ebay won't work. Oh well. Both keys are missing, so I guess I'll have to call the number in Lead Org's post.

    Lonewolf: See above, thanks for the tip, I thought of that too but it won't work in this case, sorry to say...
