PRS-350 Looking for replacement power switch

MarioT · 10-17-2014, 02:15 PM

Short story: I dropped my eBook on the floor and the sliding power button has shattered in many pieces.

Once opened (with some help of the service manual), I managed to confirm the rest of my eBook works fine by manually pushing on the PCB power switch.

Does anyone know where I could find a replacement "ORNAMENT TOP ASSY (Silver)" at a reasonnable price? Part price + shipping (to Canada) of what I found online is WAY over the price I paid for it

I'd be more than willing to salvage it from a dead eBook if someone got one to get rid of.

You'd probably be better off looking for used 350s on eBay. I've gotten excellent used 350s for $35 over a year ago, fully working and near pristine condition. They often sell them with dead screens for parts, you could probably get one of those much cheaper, and that would get you the switch you need as long as nothing internal was also damaged.
