    When cleaning under left Mouse button, it became unseated. Now I have the button, and three parts (a plastic hinge unit, a metal 'spring' and the cover). How do I put it back again? I am very near to getting it right but I need some kind of 'assembly' instruction. Have seem I might need a whole new palm rest unit - but this seems silly. It must be possible to button the parts in place and press back the button (as with keys on the keyboard). Any advice on this - or any advice where I might look for advice. (Am temporarily in Nigeria and no computer repair shops are near me).
