I have a HP COMPAQ 6715s (AMD Sempron)laptop, the palm rest mainboard casing has been damaged, There is a small crack near where you connect to a monitor or projector. 🙁

I'm planing to replace it but i want to replace the casing of another laptop model that suits with mine!

If its possible please guide me on customizing my laptop(only mainboard body casing not the specs!):sarcastic:
And please direct me where i can buy these spares online that ships worldwide!

And thnks in advance! :)


 
Doubtful that your laptop innards would fit in a different case. Another one of the same model, sure. A different model? Probably not.
 


eBay, HP, your local parts guy?
I've seen similar, nonfunctioning, machines on eBay for $10-$20. If all you need is the case, go for it.
