Hi folks,
Got one in where the slide switch seems to be a common issue. First one had a broken knob which I sorted no problem with wire and engineuity. Thought had the issue sussed, but the next one came in with a broken switch lever.
Sony don't do spares, as at £70.00 its a throw away device. Had a look about and seems its rather like the slide switch on the Nintendo DS Lite NDSL (Whatever that is)
Thought order a few as cheap and has a return spring like the original and much the same size. Replacing could be awkward as its surface mounted and sandwiched between two boards - Hey Ho - Its Crimble - Chris.
