WTB: hx4700 battery latch switch
Recently, I scored a "parts" hx4700 off of eBay for cheap in an attempt to repair it (and put a better screen in my working one). It turns out that a broken battery latch switch (the part that tells the system that the battery's unlatched and to kick in the backup battery to keep the RAM alive during a battery swap) was the only thing preventing the unit from turning on. After removing the broken switch and bridging the contacts as if the switch were closed, the unit works just fine (albeit being yet another hx4700 without backup battery capability)!
However, before reselling that unit, I want to repair it properly. That means that I need a replacement switch. Unfortunately, PPCTechs.com and ipaqrepair.co.uk do not sell that very switch from what I can see, and I don't know of any other good sources for such a part. Buying a whole motherboard just for that switch would be overkill, not to mention more expensive.
Does anyone here have a working switch they can pry off of a dead hx4700 motherboard or something along those lines?
