Front arrowhead looking "Dell" XPS face plate

[bubbadubba]

Trow,
Um, don't know if this is the right section to post this but... I need a new front "Dell" face plate for my XPS. I was trying to mod it when it just got out of control. (too many holes turned into one big opening) I have been all over Dell's website and can't find anywhere where they would sell replacement parts. What do you think TRow?

Hey maybe I can drop by your pad and when your not lookin "barrow" yours!

Thats a tough one...I would contact XPS Technicians and ask them first. Then, see if you can get an email address from a XPS Tech and follow up with them.

I know Dell sells the part, its just a matter of tracking down the "right" customer service person, who actually can do something about it.

I'd sell you mine, but then I'd be w/out one.

Hope this helps?

Anyone ever find a Part Number for this? Needle in a haystack should best describe that search. Good luck.

Forgive me, for I don't know where to begin...

I need help on lighting up the shield. Can any of you suggest a easy way to do this? I'm not good with tools, nor do I have any. My parents would KILL ME if they knew what I was about to do. Can you recommend a cheap way to light up this shield thingy? Cheap and effective are what Im looking for, Thanks guys.

Hi Candylee,
Maybe something like this?



You'll find it here: www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/scan/se=Lighting/se=Cold%20Cathode%20Kits%204in/mp=menu_search.html

Despite it looking like it's 5 feet long it's only 4 inches in length and could probably fit between the shield and the metal mesh plating. It says it comes ready to plug in to the power supply and has a back panel PCI slot switch to turn it on and off. I hope this helps
