I have a Dell Inspiron M301z model P11S. The girlfriend of a buddy spilled from orange juice on her Dell Inspiron laptop and it stopped.

I cleaned it up and managed to get it working, so I recovered her information onto an external HDD.

However, it now won't start at all. The only thing which has changed is that she said she pressed the start button too hard and it now seemed to be loose.

I've tried unsuccessfully to find a new start button and ribbon cable. There also appears to be quite a few different four wire ribbon cables.

Anybody got any idea where I might find a button, with or without ribbon cable?
