... I don't really have the time to send the laptop in for 'repair' that will take a month and cost more than a new laptop..
Maybe stupid question now but what you want to do now? Do you want to exchange it alone?
It will be nice if someone here will take a time to search it for you. My tip is – eBay. There you can find a lot hardware parts for different Toshiba notebooks. Maybe you will be lucky and find it there.
