Hi Sim085,
Sad to hear your 1084 was damaged. Perhaps it got damaged during transit. You might be able to work out a partial refund from the seller?
The front lid (and the power button) are known to break on the 1084DS. If any parts came off the lid you could try and glue it back together or perhaps find a faulty 1084 somewhere and take its front lid off and place it on yours.
How many pins does the connector that goes in the monitor have? Mine has 6.
