new Duo problems

Hello list,

I've been lurking this month but I now have reason to post. :)

I am now the proud owner of my first PB Duo 2300c with 3 docks! I already 
own a PB Duo 270c and I bought a PB Duo 230 (mistook the model number when 
I glanced at the posting as a PB Duo 280) on eBay earlier this year. My 
current problem is that the seller of my new PB Duo 2300c accidently broke 
the screen casing. I theorize that I will need another PB 2300 for parts 
especially for the screen casing. Is this correct?

Picture of the damage here (warning for modem users, image size at end of URI):

Additionally, the normal Duo Dock (the large slide in dock case) has damage 
too. The flip up/down cover is broken off and the fan cover is broken. 
Again, I theorize I will need a similar device for parts?

Also, the system came with a normal Duo Dock (the large slide in dock 
case), a NewerTech UltraDock 16sce, a e-machines PowerLink Presenter and a 
Farallon EtherWave AAUI adapter (2 ports?!). Does anyone have any software 
for any of this equipment that I can download? I can do a Google search if 
no one has any of this available, I just wanted to check here first than 
spend my nights hunting down software that I could have obtained through 
the list. :)

Finally, the key for the Duo Dock was bent 90 degrees (!?). Am I able to go 
to the local key maker and get a new key made?

Thanks in advance!
