Re: The latch that holds the battery door shut broke...
You could try and find it on EBay or other online forums however KODAK no longer produces the parts for this model so unfortunantly you might run into some trouble trying to find it.

Most likely there is a part missing from the door latch mechanism that you need. This probably broke off when the handle failed. It would be a tab or wedge shaped piece of plastic that strikes the door switch and pushes the switch closed when the door is completely shut. You will need to find that piece and glue it back on or get a new handle assembly from Samsung.
The latch needs to be replaced. You may be able to find one at a salvage yard or at a GM dealer. If you are mechanicly inclined you can replace it yourself. If not, I recomend you have it replaced at a shop.
use some tape, or put a piece of something on top of the battery, when you close the battery door and latch it, it should hold the battery in place. That orange clip just holds the battery low enough that it comes in contact with the terminals at the bottom of the compartment.
Hope this helps

helps to lift the door a lil when shutting it hinges may be worn and latch is easy to get to just take the clamp loose around the boot and 2 screws hold it
Are you sure the latch broke? sometime they can freeze up and hang unlatched. The part that latches the door to the striker is "C" shaped. If it is flipped into the latched position with the door open, it won't work. If this is the case, use a screwdriver and pry the latch to the open position while pulling the handle. But if it is broken, yes it can be replaced. Usually torx or allen screws in the end of the door. Pull the door panel off and pop the rods off before you unbolt it though!
