I got a new laptop and when I took it out of the box I noticed that one of the little rubber boots on the bottom was missing. I checked the box but of course it was not there! I called the store where I got it and asked if they could send me a replacement or repair kit but they could not help me. I was told I could bring my laptop in and receive a new one....simple but I don't want have a flexible scheduel at the time to drive all the way back to the store to pick up such a small part...I don't want to make a special trip out there....beside it's way out of the way of all the places I shop! The store told me I could should be able to find one online but did not know of a site to help so I came here! Could someone tell me where I could find such a small simple part for my laptop?????
Thanks in advance:)

Home Depot sells small silicone feet that I often use to replace missing laptop feet. You will find them near the cabinet section. They are self adhesive but I always add a drop of super glue between them and the computer. As far as finding them online or at a computer store good luck. I have been in Business for over 7 years and still can't find perfect replacements and the laptop companies don't have spares. This is a viable solution.

When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.
Microsoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January. It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released. The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).
Anyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.
I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind.
Good luck!

I've had something similar happen with my laptop, and I ended up replacing them with little bumpers that I got from the hardware store. Look in the section that has felt dots, the sort of thing you'd add to the bottom of a coaster to keep it from scratching a table, and they will have ones that are made of rubber/plastic/silicon or some similar material.

Emphatically NO. a working laptop or laptop engineer(utility/hardware) builds systems that are utilized by making use of the final public. a working laptop or laptop technician is a individual experienced at repairing and maintainence of computers. maximum engineers may additionally restore systems yet no technician can write utility or construct hardware.

i know you want everything perfect but, it's just one little rubber thingy, you've still got 3 more good ones.
i had that same ordeal, but it was never really a problem
i don't want to sound mean but, unless you're willing to go through all that nonsense to get that one little piece of rubber for your computer, you'll just have to learn to do without it

its a simple piece of rubber. why don't you make your own rubber boot cause it will save your budget. use a foam tape for example.
