Rubber Feet For Dell Laptop

whodathoughtit · 5th July 2005, 8:58 PM

I have a Dell 5150 laptop - out of warranty. some of the rubber feet have fallen off and are missing. Dell emailed a quote for 5 - $40. I don't feel like forking out 40 bucks for some little bits of rubber. Anyone got any ideas? Can you buy them in a store somewhere (in / near Sydney)??
Thanx in advance...

Surely you could find something appropriate at a hardware store.

You can buy little clear soft type pads from hardware shops.They are used for cupboard door stops,so the doors don't bang when they are closed.(mainly used on kitchen cupboards).
You can buy a sheet of around 20 stops for about $2.
They last really well,but are still nice and soft.
