Kick stand Lever broken..Pics attached..Suggestions Please
 
1 Attachment(s)
So the kick stand spring / lever broke loose autoMagically today. The n900 is less than 2 months old. I feel that the plastic rivets are too flimsy to hold this steel lever in place.

What could be the best method to fix it back? I am thinking along the lines of a epoxy glue.

Thanks for the suggestions :) Appreciated!

Here's the results of the epoxy fix :P

I think $20 for a new cover is a bit too rich for my wallet.. since the design of the cover is a bit shoddy and the engineer in me would not allow me to repeat the same mistake twice :)

The epoxy is a very strong glue and holds things strongly, once it sets. It's difficult to convince though with the picture :)

Buy a glue gun in maplins and hot glue it on, might be a cleaner job.

I completely understand what you mean. :) Infact these pics are using my N95-1. Yup I still have it, though using it w/o a simcard, mainly as a bluetooth enabled camera.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just realised, I did have a glue gun, but unfortunately didn't have glue sticks that go with it.
