TP2 hard keys

Just got a replacement TP2 for my replacement TP1 and one of the hardkeys popped off and I cannot find it.
Hardkey that came off is the "pick up" phone key.

Anyone know where I can get one? Or is this a "take it back to the repair center" deal.

I'm currently in alaska for two weeks where there is no sprint repair center.

definitely a repair center thing. however, was this an insurance replacement? if so and you did literally just get it, I think you should be able to get another replacement from them without paying another deductible.

regardless, try to document as much as possible (ie use ecare/email) as getting double billed is entirely possible.

Thank you for the reply.

Not an asurian insurance thing. My original TP digitizer screen ate it so sprint sent me another TP. Well that one the reciever and bluetooth did not work.
So took that one into repair center and they gave me a choice of a bunch different units for replacement. I chose the TP2.

I found a button strip on ebay. took a little digging on ebay. Will take button strip and phone to repair center when I get back to the world.

wow, it just goes to show you can part out anything on ebay.. lol..

I'm sure this isn't the first case of this (button falling off) happening, but definitely the first i've heard in a long time.

sorry for your string of bad luck, hopefully they don't hassle you, and welcome to tp2 land. hopefully you don't have to go back to AK later on, cuz you'll miss the flash light in all that dark.
