Why can't I find a replacement power switch?

Hello,

I am not sure if they exist but I cannot find anywhere that I can buy a replacement power switch for this model. Maybe you know better? Please let me know. It is just a basic little plastic piece.

Hi @jayeff that is what I was wondering if it could possibly come with that new board I just don’t see it pictures. It’s a black slider piece that catches on the white switch that’s actually on that physical board. I suppose I could just go to that store I happen to work down the street from it

Hi @tccasazza ,

The power button is mounted on the audio/power button board and I’m not sure that it is available as a separate part. Are there any markings on the switch itself which may help in identifying its’ make/ model/ voltage-current rating etc?

Here’s a link to a video that shows how to remove the board. (Apologies as you know probably know this already)

Here’s a link to a supplier of the part.

A search online reveals that there are other suppliers of the board, but they all state “out of stock”.

Hopefully this is of some help.

Hi @tccasazza ,

At least if you go there and see it you'll know for sure ;-)
