Yes the little latch on the inside basically wears out and it won't stay in. I had this happen to mine. The switches can be hard to find exactly. I replaced mine with a bit of a different switch but it has the same ratings and it fit perfectly. I have a few extras just in case.G8rduc wrote:Has anyone ever had the power button not stay in the on position? Mine clicks but just comes back out
Here you go. That steel is so high tensile I had to use tiny tungsten carbide drill bits to drill it.obitus1990 wrote:Pics, or it didn't happenBulletdust wrote:The 1084S P1/2's are different, they break the actual hinge on the cover flap. I rebuilt mine using very fine high tensile steel from a car's wiper insert and tiny laptop screws - Works perfectly now!

That should do it. Yeah the biggest pain is the case and getting to the switch. And if the wires are too short. But once you replace it, you probably won't have to again.G8rduc wrote:I just ordered this. It's on the way. I'll post up on how it goes. Looks like a 10-15 minute solder job.
