Avio on off button broken

Post by methuenbill »

Tried to set up my avio after years of no use and the front on off button is broken. Cant seem to see a switch through the hole.

As it's an Avio DVD it must be one with the on/off in the middle area and so the little micro switch might have become detached.

These can be repaired but possibly more of a pain would be if the silver plastic (outside) button has gone or become detached ?

It's much rarer for that to happen but is not so easy to get a replacement (if at all) as it's part of the front facia.

If the inside switch is still in one piece (or if you have it repaired) you can use a pencil with an eraser on the end to switch it on . . .

On button pushed in to far and broke micro switch. Poor way to make an on off button. Brought the PCB into work and wired in a real switch. No I will use the unit to load in vhs tapes ect and make dvds. :lol:
