Front / back shell
A1059 HP mono 20 GB order PE435A uses the thin rear plate; HP 40 GB PE436A uses the thick rear plate. A1059 front panel is generation-specific.
Choose by capacity/chassis depth. Standard replacement panels may not preserve HP-branded appearance.
Medium confidence
Click wheel
A1059 wheel 632-0258-A; specialist explicitly lists HP order numbers PE435A (20 GB) and PE436A (40 GB) as compatible.
HP-branded front/back cosmetic parts are separate; fitment does not preserve HP engraving.
Medium confidence
