Need obscure part for HP zd8000

[armcconn]

I'm repairing/upgrading an HP Pavilion zd8000. It works great (without battery of course) and is worth < $50 to fix. I'm looking for the obscure parts necessary to fix the pcmcia eject button. These would normally be part of the motherboard (HP 37411-001), but mine is otherwise OK. Does anyone have a broken/bad board with these parts intact or know how to obtain the parts?

I've been there and many other sites...nobody seems to list motherboard subcomponents. Thanks for the response anyway!

Not sure if the enclosure base (chassis bottom) would include the eject button. That's why I suggested the site.
Or is it part of the motherboard? Check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IxmzR7cM2M

That's the rub...the digital media slot (smart card and pcmcia) is a subcomponent of the motherboard.

7 years later, I hope he's still not looking for a motherboard.
