[NTLK] Repair or replace 2100?

Been lurking awhile, coming out into the light,

Question for the Newton Braintrust,

I recieved a very clean 2100 from J&K with two problems (which they are being
very good about correcting, btw); the lower card eject button doesn't, and
there is a rattling noise inside the top of the 2100 upon light shaking. J&K
recommended sending the unit back for a motherboard replacement to fix the
eject button, as the "slots are right on the board "(?), and that the rattling
was probably the broken part from the eject button. This was the
recommendation because of the very good screen that the unit has. I initally
wanted a full replacement instead of the same unit post-repair, but am not sure
now.

Does this sound reasonable? Does opening the case change the quality of the
Newt (not as snug of a fit of the case parts)? Also, if the rattling is from
the piece of lower eject button, it sure would have had to migrate a ways to
get to the top.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm anxious to play with my newt, oy!

John
