I really need some HELP..... I know it's bonehead!
OK.... so i need some help from you guys AGAIN... sorry.
This is trivial and I know but I have had a damn hard time finding a silly part that I lost off my laptop and to be honest I'm sick of looking and my laptop keeps moving around. sooooo I ended up losing the little rubber anti-slip footings from the bottom of my laptop and I cant find the replacements. I need 2 of them. I've looked on-line (I'm sure they are out there, I just cant find them) I've gone to Home Depot and Lowes..... nothing. AT THIS POINT... I'd just like a LINK to be able to by the .25 part and be done with this ridiculousness..... Can anyone help with this stupid-ness? I'm attaching a picture with the parts I need circled. I have a "Acer Aspire E15 Laptop"

find the right size and redo all 5 so you don't get frustrated by the tiny size disparity between your new aftermarket ones and your old ones.

Cut out rubber squares from a bike tire, or kitchen bumper cushions from the local ACE.
Superglue.

Why not remove and replace with those little clear stick-on cabinet door bumpers that can also be sourced at the local hardware store

several blobs of caulking silicone for each pad, set it on a level surface and let it cure.

Get a rubber mat, cut it to the size of your computer, and lose the other feet.

No you need to replace the entire computer with a new ultra high end $5,000 computer!
I think I would just get some of the rubber pads from the local store and be done with it. Likely you will need to replace all of them to be the same thickness.

IKEA has free parts at their stores. The adhesive rubber bumpers for cupboard doors are what you need.

Replacing them is important not trivial. Besides the obvious that they help keep it from sliding around they keep it slightly elevated for airflow.
You never want to completely close off the bottom.

That's an important point. Airflow is critical. Using a laptop on bedding will fry it. I use a plastic minitable.
