I recommend DT&T mac service, they can fix your machine or sell you the
parts you need if you can do it yourself. This isn't a trivial repair
though as most of the bottom half has to come part.
If you want me to fix it for you I'd be happy to, but would need more
info on what is broken. Contact me off list if interested. I am in
Seattle...
