Hi all!
I just dropped my newt! ARRRG!!
It broke off a card eject button! All seems well other than that!
Does anyone have an eject button in their spares that they would part with?
Let me know how much you want, and where you are!
I am located in Tasmania, Australia.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Bill
