Trust me, u're better off selling the laptop. Even after u replaced the housing, the problem will return after 1 year+. And for price in M'sia, replacing A+B+D+ battery would probably set u back RM7-800. I replaced a D case with an ori pcs, start disintegrating after 1 year. |

Disappointed with this Acer laptop casing. The photos are real.
Performance wise, it still meets my usage demands. But the casing is slowly (now accelerated) disintegrating.
Doesn't seems worthy to replace with inflated priced parts that just probably last for another year.
