>the 3400 is really the 5300 redesigned with room for a CD-ROM (and >other improvements). That's sort of an over-simplification, isn't it? About all they have in common is a similar industrial design.
Though you might be right about the button, that (and certain batteries and expansion bay modules - made possible because the industrial design dictated the shape of the removable modules) is the only interchangeable part that I'm aware of. Still, the 190 and 3400 use the same trackpad mechanism, which you _can_ use in a 5300, but unless you have a 190 to gut for it's data cable, the trackpad from any other machine is useless in a 5300... I still think the easiest fix would be to swap complete palm rests with a 5300 or 190. $15 should be a reasonable price.
