Restoration Part 4 = The missing DVD bezel - Part 2 I never thought either, that its one spare part shipping process, will be an individual adventure for my nerves mostly.
Either way,
Today I do feel significant satisfaction, 97% of aesthetics they did recover to original condition.

The bezel around the screen, this is now replaced with the non-shiny version of it (they are two versions) this came from Turkey.
DVD bezel this came from Moldova, and it is the original one, and or 100% compatible with this laptop model.
DVD bezel underneath this leaves 2 mm of a gap, I think that this is unavoidable visual issue, because DVD mechanism it does require some distance clearance so to function properly.
Restoration Part 5 = ASUS X52JU SX335V it is finally ready to get back in actionASUS X52JU SX335V - Production date: June 2011
ASUS X52JU SX335V - restoration date: September 2021
This laptop is now going to replace my much older
ACER TM2414 WLMI, this has a Pentium 1.6 GHz (725A) which I succeed to make it function at 2128 MHz by the use of an old trick.
It is in the fate of laptops, them to deliver max performance with the operating system which they came loaded with.
The old ACER this using Windows XP.
In the positive side of things, newer laptop as is ASUS X52JU (Production date: June 2011), it is still fully capable to do anything, for example YouTube along all multimedia needs, they can served in full.
Internet browsing can be served in full.
Win7 64 bit operating system this is served well.
Class of Business plus Multimedia laptop PC, this is long life product class, in contrast to gaming laptops which are known for premature failure due their GPU and overtime developed soldering issues.
