I had my Model 4P apart today to work on the power supply (I had an ATX power supply board ready to go if need be, but the only problem turned out to be a few cracked solder joints and re-flowing them fixed the shrinking/blooming screen problem I was having quite nicely), and while I was at it, I decided to take the front bezel off and check out the power switch, as the light bulb inside apparently burned out sometime before I picked up the machine.
A few problems: One, the power switch looks to be sealed to me, so I'm not sure I can change the bulb without changing the switch. I haven't been able to get too close a look, so if I'm wrong about that, let me know. Two, no matter how hard I tried I was not able to force the panel clips in far enough to actually remove the power switch, and I'm afraid I will have to break them to actually be able to get it out. Three, I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement switch yet (one that's illuminated, has a V-shaped rocker, the correct dimensions, and five terminals instead of four or six), and I'd really want to know where I can get one before I try any harder to force the switch out of its panel.
So, does anyone here know where to find the correct switch for these, and does anyone have any advice for actually removing the original switch without damaging it?
