Edit: Before I forget again, did you have problems with it occasionally not powering on? Mine sometimes gives this funny clicking noise, and the power light flashes for a couple seconds before going silent...
I never had issues with it at all, aside from build quality issues - the left hinge and trim above the keyboard was already missing before the fall, and the right hinge was barely attached.

I don't really need parts, I'll just get a new (or new-to-me) laptop. Maybe even one built after 2003.
