I ended up getting a switch assembly off a Dell 725N. Strangely the 725N board, although exactly the same size, same connectors etc doesn't have the reset switch, only the on/off switch. Apart from that it just plugs in and works fine, so I now have a fully working 4500 again.

Thanks for the soldering suggestion - but my soldering skills are more suited to electrics (household) than electronics. I don't think the board would survive them.
