Don't feel too bad. When my husband's eMac was new the HD went bad just after we got it. We took it in to the Apple Store to get it fixed, and they broke the same little part when they were replacing the HD. It was going to take too long for them to get a replacement part, so they just gave him a new machine. I guess someone got his as a refurb when they finally got his fixed. Apparently it is a pretty easy part to break.
