My Sony Reader PRS-650 is acting up, the Options and Zoom buttons stopped working and eventually it got worse and none of the manual buttons were operating. Being myself I took it apart to fix it/figure out the problem.

Where can I find this part online? Any specific product information?

This is what is damaged, it is the volume button, its split in half and I don't know exactly how that happened, if I unplug this part all the manual keys return but I obviously can't transfer anything by USB or charge it which isn't much help.

Here is a picture of the internals if anyone is curious.

Any advice, I would rather not pay Sony a bunch of money to fix it if I can find a store selling this part online for a couple bucks.
