X60 Tablet Lid Catch

The little black catch that secures the laptop lid when closed has popped out of my X60t. It seems that a tiny plastic divider has snapped off from the lid plastics in the hole into which the catch sits. Short of buying a whole new screen, is there any way to fix this?
Cheers,

The latch is part number 42W2538, replaced by 42W3403. They are expensive for what they are, but a lot cheaper than a screen.

Thanks richk, that's just it. For future reference, the LCD parts list is here: http://snipr.com/j9mn2

It is incredibly expensive. I may have a go at gluing a little divider in the gap somehow, see if that works.
