Eraser head mouse pointer for Thinkpad.. Where can I find some?

[harkm]

I have an old Thinkpad and the red, eraser head trackpointer is missing and I can't seem to find a replacement anywhere. I have tried the ibm website. I have called used laptop venders. Has anybody had this same problem? Where can I find some?

[harkm]

Anyone? This is the same response anytime I ask this question. NOBODY know where I can get these things? Does anybody have an IBM Thinkpad? The little red track point eraser heads fall off all the time. Surely somebody else has had this problem?

Thank you very much. I will try all the sites you recommended.

Thanks again, ACSPARTS looks like they have them!

LMK if they have them.
If not, I am sure between the 2 of us, we can find them. What model ThinkPad do you have?

I have an old 755c with a tft screen. Yes, I know it isn't worth much but it runs Win 95 very fast with 36 meg of RAM. It bugs me that I don't have any trackpoint caps however.

harkm: did ACSPARTS have what you were looking for?

Yes, they have them posted on the website for $20 for 4 "trackpoint caps". I haven't called them yet but I am sure that is what they are called.

Thanks for all your help
