Eagle4Christ Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hello, all: I recently acquired a PEB with a push button on/off switch. The switch is stuck in the on position, so I plan to replace it with a simple toggle switch. Do any of you have advice? It's seems straightforward to me, but I have not worked with the PEB before.

My PEB has a similar problem - It seems to be caused by the case breakout being a tight fit and the switch being mounted so that it bends easily. Other than replacing the switch (which I'd find a bit ugly), has this problem be solved by others and how? Thanks, Hans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 oh, I had this once before and my PEBs cover was not sitting correct, maybe due to transport or open/closing it, it sat lopsided and harmed the switch. I had to loosen all screws of the PEBs cover, and to "treat", to move the cover a little bit in all directions. Just watch the button then. (But I think this are not the problems here, because I think in both cases both cases were dismounted and checked) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle4Christ Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 I'll try this before surgery! It just arrived via mail, so this is very possible. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk Can you post a picture of the actual internal switch? I think I may have some switches that could be used as a replacement. I remember seeing a picture of one but the PEB's I have now are the newer toggle switch variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
