Hey all, I've been looking all over where I could buy another switch for this thing and I've had no luck. I know I can bypass this switch to have it always ON, but my clients does not want to do so and wants the switch replaced. I have no clue where to get one or really where to start. Any ideas?

That site seems to just have links for eBay listings, what I'm looking for I haven't found on eBay nor anywhere else. I haven't even gotten close results to what I'm trying to get. Maybe I'm looking with the wrong keywords for this part? Is this piece called something else?

I suggest that you contact them. All the names you use are good enough for digging up the part.

You know, I didn't even think about contacting the people on eBay to locate the part. Thanks for the idea!

if i remember correctly, the physical switch is on the mainboard. there is also the plastic switch on the lowercase.

you may want to convince your client to have it always on, and just turn it on and off via Fn+F2.
