My HP Omnibook 500's weakest feature is the way the PC-Card Eject
button can stay out sometimes (when it bounces back of fails to fold
down properly - and in this case just got snapped off by a Dell
computer case.

Spare parts searches indicate that I can't get the lug by itself
easily - I have to buy a new motherboard at $2300 - I can buy a brand
new subnote from a better manufacturer for that.

Does anyone know where I can find a lug like this (or perhaps has a
dead Omnibook 500 for sale with that part intact) in Australia?

Thanks
