    Help!
    The slide button on my aspire LCD latch just broke! Gotta say, it is made cheap. Only two small plastic pins hold it in place, and one of my pins just broke. Any ideas where i can get a replacement? I know i will probably have to buy the entire latch just to get the 'slide button" (sorry, i don't know what it is really called...) but trying to open the lcd panel by moving the mechanism every time with a small screwdriver or something is going to get very aggravating! I've already tried calling acer, and they tell me that they can't sell it to me because my laptop is out of warranty. (??) They did give me a couple phone numbers for parts suppliers, but one of them only sells hard drives and memory, and the other hasn't returned my call.
    thanks for your help!
