I’ve got a Dell G3 3579 that’s in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I’ve thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I’m a bit skeptical of it… So ig my question is whether it’s OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress.

E: I’ve checked, amazon does not ship to my country… I’m also technically asking if anyone knows any trusted good replacement battery manufacturers that I should look for…

      Buy the entire keyboard.
      Then return it for “missing the E key”.
      Who ships a keyboard without the E?

        No no. It’s a laptop. And it broke. Still have it some where.

          My comment still stands.
          Instead of paying $20 for a single key. Pay $100 for the entire replacement keyboard. Remove the E key from the keyboard, then return the keyboard stating the letter E was missing when you received it. When they get it back, they’ll refund your $100 and your issue is solved.

      Unfortunately replacing laptop keys isn’t easy. First there’s no standard, even on the same model and it’s difficult. I’ve had supposedly identical keyboards but with slightly different mounting, and were incompatible with each other on a key to key basis. It’s necessary in most situations to buy the whole keyboard (sometimes the entire palm rest too) and replace that.
