The rubber button normally pokes upwards through the hole in that plastic cover. The other (bigger) side of the rubber button presses down on a small switch on the motherboard when you close the lid. So it's not critical, but your laptop won't be able to know when the lid is closed (and then enter sleep mode, for example). Just take the plastic cover off again and superglue the metal strip back to where it was torn off. To “gkjk” in #344:

I have no idea where it came from or where it goes. It is a thin piece of metal with a 3/8" rubber finger on one end and three small holes on the other end of the metal strip. The strip is about 1 1/2" long. I reassembled the M35X-S109 and every thing works except the cd/dvd it has power, spins up when you put in a disc but is not recognized by the Bios or MS XP. Any body know what this part is?? It it a ground strap or something for the drive? Cheers, While removing the top cover, a piece fell onto the board.

You can download and burn live Linux CD (Ubuntu, Knoppix, etc...). Boot your laptop from this CD and test keyboard and touchpad functionality. If everything works fine in Linix, there is a problem with your Windows installation. Most likely you'll have to reinstall Windows. 2. You can reinstall Windows without original restore CD if you still have Microsoft license sticker with the installation key. I think you have Windows XP Home install. All you need is an copy of Windows XP Home OEM disc (not retail). The OEM disc should take your license key and activate after installation. I've done it hundreds time. I guess you can search torrentz for the installation disc. I don't think it's illegal because you are going to use original Microsoft installation key. Angel,
