Where Can I find...

...the locking bar thing for the keyboard/trackpad connector on a 17" PowerBook G4, other than another logic board?

Or is there a way to make the connector work without it? Wedging in a piece of paper, perhaps?

Thank you!

I fixed it!

I used a piece of paper folded over several times so as to make it very thick. I then wedged it between the ribbon cable and logic board, right next to the ZIF connector, and it's working perfectly!

It's not the prettiest, but it works, and that's all I care about!
