A couple of the rubber feet came off my 6/7 year old Dell Inspiron 19" which is still happily serving me well running W7 so won't change her until the screen goes.

Just looking for advice on which glue is best to thoroughly restickthe feet. I have a replacement set of feet bought from ebay but no adhesive came with them.

Is superglue advisable (apart from risk of sticking fingers together or finger to laptop) or are there more suitable alternatives like UHU adhesive or others?

Thanks for advice

Well you're going to be gluing them to the bottom of the laptop, to a plastic cover. So i can't imagine how it would cause problems.

Edit* 6/7 years old at 19 inches , thing must weigh a ton

Superglue always does it for me.

I was primarily thinking about the generated heat and whether or not it would need special glue that could withstand it without weakening.

Re second point I never think about its weight as it gets left on table or desk 95% of time. It was bought originally as a desktop replacement so screen is big and wide and handy for spreadsheets in particular to save scrolling left and right. Main issue with it now is no HDMI port to watch TV on it but apple tv works well instead. Over time I have upgraded memory, hard drive, replaced the motherboard and added bluetooth and I still like it. Although its only single core Pentium 1.8g its v fast as I don't use an AV product and runs W7 & office 2007 like its new. No point in changing to a new one yet although the keyboard is getting quite worn looking.

I would like/want to get a MS surface tablet and WP8 phone towards end of year as a future possible replacement. (Mrs Black are you listening?)

Just goes to show that proper care can make a laptop last longer than 3 years.

Ye i'd say super glue is fine. the amount of heat generated shouldn't affect it

just try one with super glue leave for a couple of days and see how it is , sometimes super glue reacts badly .
