Hello folks,

I'm posting because my 2007 vintage bluetooth keyboard had a corroded battery stuck in it.

Not because I need help getting the battery out; I already did that. I need help locating a new power button assembly. I managed to separate the button from its wiring at the solder joint (Stupid me forgot that solder joints are inherently weak on small circuits...), and I don't have a high enough quality soldering station to repair it myself.

Since the wiring harness for this button is detachable at the other end, on its connection to the board itself, I figure I might be able to plug in a new button, assuming the loose wire didn't short the board.

Anyone know of a source for these? I've scoured ebay, but I can't find any broken keyboards of the correct model for parts, let alone the individual assembly...

Any help you guys can offer would be appreciated.

EDIT: FWIW, I found the part in question.

Of course, I still need a US source.
