Replacing power button / fingerprint scanner of Tab 4 8 Plus - Thinkpad Tablet General

Today, out of nowhere my tablets power button / fingerprint scanner came out. I dont recall myself handling it badly. Never dropped it. The rest of the device is in prestine form. So I was guessing if those parts are simply glued? Are the really broken and do I have to buy new ones? And does new parts available anywhere online? (I didn't find any information / disassembly / assembly instructions / videos online)

More information
How about mentioning some other details like
- price
- where are you located
- when was it purchased (remaining warranty)
- locks (although most users here can presumably unlock it)
- equipment (memory card, headphones, manuals, ...)
- receipt (warranty, and proof that it's not stolen)
- anything else that might be relevant
an idea maybe?

Replacement Camera

I was at our local air show this weekend taking a video of an F-16 with my 8525 and about ten minutes later I noticed that my camera's sensor had been burned by the the intense light. Well after a couple of days of wallowing in my stupidity I decided that I would just replace the camera. Does any one know where I can find a camera to replace the one in my 8525?

I can confirm my power button works like the day I first got the phone!! (Keyboard buttons seem to have nicer feedback too!)
Ebay link to the part (ships from Florida):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290819579517?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Video with the teardown of the Epic (and reassembly is just the teardown backwards, **MAKE SURE NOT TO LOSE ANYTHING**)
Hope this is a great help to all of you who have been plagued by the dreaded half working or completely inoperable power button. Cheers!!
I fixed the video link and have a picture of the part from the ebay page too.

Broken touch panel, help?

So some things happened and my Nexus 7's touch screen got junked.
I've sent the device to ASUS support hoping they would fix it at reasonable price...
I was wrong. They want to charge me almost 75% of the damn price for an LCD change.

This is 210 USD. Any leads on cheaper ways to fix the damn display?
Get a faulty unit from somewhere like Ebay/Craiglist, but make sure the fault aint the screen.
Then take the screen off the faulty one, and replace it onto yours?

Nexus 7 touch unresponsive

I have been using this device for more than 5 yrs. Recently screen rotation was not working so I tried to repair it by myself after watching some videos and forums. It was an easy process but due to my curiosity I dug into the hardware some more. During the process I mistakenly broke a piece from ZIF connector which was connected to the display. I don't know whether this could do anything to the touch. Now the touch becomes unresponsive. I am also thinking that the digitiser could be faulty but not ready to invest in a new one without knowing the real reason. Why this connector is for. Could this be the culprit? If so do I need to change the daughterboard? You can see the picture
