    Found some replacement palmrest panels for my laptop, costing around £30. I'm tempted to get one, as the paint is wearing off on my current one, and the touchpad buttons have collapsed!
    Could anyone give me an idea if it is a simple job to change these?
    I've only ever upgraded RAM and my hard disk before, so not exactly a pro!

    Any help appreciated.
