NAS LS420 ON/OFF Switch broke off!
« on: January 11, 2020, 07:33:50 AM »
Went to turn off NAS for the first time in perhaps over a year, and the tiny weak little On/Off Switch broke off completely  :-[. No bit remaining to get to.

What can I do - NAS is now OFF and unusable!?

I’ve got some notes on taking these apart and pictures of the board here:

You could try fixing/replacing it. Otherwise you could probably bridge the contacts with solder into a permanent “on”
