Well, as promised, I was able to reattach a camera to the button in keeping with the theme of this TB. I wasn't able to find a replacement at a dollar store but lucked in finding one at a camera shop. It was not a dollar, but still worth it. I consider it "paying it forward" to another cacher.
For those who find it in the near future, don't try and take a selfie. That's some powerful flash....until the battery starts to die down!
