You would probably be able to repair it. However, I've found the spring
contact mechanism in the 2000 to be very hard to put back together, once it
has came off. You might want to be very careful before removing any part.
Even take picture, if you can. I haven't seen any site that shows *CLEARLY*
the mechanism installed, even less instructions to put it back like it
should.

dinosaur n.: 1. Any hardware requiring raised flooring and special power.
Used especially of old minis and mainframes, in contrast with newer
microprocessor-based machines. In a famous quote from the 1988 Unix EXPO,
Bill Joy compared the liquid-cooled mainframe in the massive IBM display
with a grazing dinosaur "with a truck outside pumping its bodily fluids
through it". IBM was not amused. Compare big iron; see also mainframe. 2.
