Replacing T23 keyboard bezel?
My treasured T23 has developed a crack in the keyboard bezel, and I've ordered a replacement from Impact Computers. The HMM's guide to replacing it makes the process look fairly straightforward, except for removing and replacing the hinge cover. Does anyone have experience with this - and any hints or warnings about how to get this right? I'll be grateful for any pointers.

Re: Replacing T23 keyboard bezel?
You might have saved yourself some money if this breakage was your problem.
To remove the hinge cover, make sure to remove first the (corner-)screw from the modem and then the screw inside the CD-cage.
Open the LCD all the way until it lies flat.
After that, with a little gentle pressure on the 2 outside parts of the hinge-cover, it should lift up easily.
PS: I sold my T23 last year, the above is all from memory.

Re: Replacing T23 keyboard bezel?
Thank you for that. Unfortunately my breakage is at the front left corner, where the bezel meets the base. It doesn't affect function, but looks ugly enough for me to want to replace it.
Will follow your advice on this and save myself further trouble, I hope. Thank you again.

I got a cheap new-in-box replacement bezel on eBay, and, thanks to RBS's advice and encouragement, amazed myself by replacing it successfully. Thanks again to RBS!
