Problem with HP mini back cover - help please!

    I recently got a new HP mini 200 netbook. It came with 1GB of RAM, so I upgraded it to 2GB myself. Have done this before with other machines, no problems.

    However, my difficulty right now is getting the back cover (service cover) back on the machine! I have spent a couple of hours fiddling with it, but I can't get it done! I have managed to kind of get it back in place, and I can use the machine, but I know that it is not in snugly - there are little gaps here and there, and I imagine that that would be terrible in terms of dust getting it etc. Indeed, the cover has also more or less come off itself with a little bit of manipulation from me, so it is definitely not securely in place.

    Part of the problem may be that a couple of the clips at the back have broken off in the process of trying to replace the cover. Really annoying - I wasn't pushing it aggressively either.

    So, I guess I may have to order a spare part. When it arrives, I don't want to spend a couple of hours trying to get the thing back in place properly. Has anybody got advice on where I could go to get this done properly? I know that it sounds really dumb to have to go somewhere to get this done, but I have seriously spent two hours trying it and I just want the thing fixed properly without hassle.

    Any advice?
