    my lcd bezel cracked on one side when I was removing it to do screen swap, is there anywhere to get another? all i could find was rkcomputers and they don't do international shipping :(

    atm i've just glued it together & wrapped some tape round the crack, but i would prefer to replace the whole thing if possible.

    guess that's a no, there I was thinking i'd bought something with good build quality and the flimsy bezel just snaps, my sager laptop had a better quality bezel....

    at the least the screen upgrade went well...eventually, stupid company sent two wrong screens, but then i managed to find a inverter extension cable and now it's installed. sent the 1st screen back and sent some emails to the company telling them how bad they are.

    That bezel is incredibly flimsy... Have you tried looking bezel for gx620/gx630/gt62x? The gt640 use the same chassis as those so you might be able to find something more easily since they have been around for a while.

    yea, worst latop bezel i've come across, it was very difficult to remove, so i'm not supprised it broke in the end. Bonus is the company never charged me for the screen i kept, guess my complaints worked, i will have another look for bezel's like you suggested.
