Power Switch Replacement (Don't let me die)

[MadAsAHatter]

Appreciate the resources! I think I might just take it in. I'd love to give it a go but the risk just outweighs the reward for me. I'm sure id be fine but it's not that big of an issue. I might not even take it in. Standby switches are useless anyway right

Don't be too intimidated by it. Like anything you just need to pay attention to what you're doing. I built a couple of kit amps with my only previous experience being guitar wiring and I'm still alive and kicking.

If you decide to take it to a tech, the bench fee (usually around $60 - $70) plus the cost of the switch (unless you provide it) should be your expected out of pocket cost.

Still kicking! I'm in no rush to do any repairs since it's really not hampering it's functionality. I'll be sure to let you all know before I take the plunge

Glad to hear you are well!!

if you have a multi meter and follow the discharge protocol you have nothing to worry about. You can test it before you start anyway.
It’s a very simple job.
