    If you're good with superglue, you might be able to fix it provided all the plastic bits are still there. The 'slides' themselves need to be straight and more or less bump free, otherwise it'll stick on eject.

    I agree the plastics are abysmal on these drives. Surely some proper mounting pillars around the drive (preferably metal) would've save a lot of accidental damage.

    I have had 5 panasonic q's. All of them have had damaged drives. Hot glue I have found works well to fix them.

    I doubt you'll be able to find any new (outer drive assembly) parts for these. Maybe if you were an authorized Panasonic repair centre in Japan - even then I wouldn't hold your breath!
