Title: Turbo Express replacement power switch?
Post by: cr4zymanz0r on June 07, 2014, 07:23:04 PM

I recently got a Turbo Express that is missing the green external plastic piece of the power switch. The internal switch is still there and I can turn it on using a slim screwdriver or other thin object to push the internal switch.

Is there a good place to get a replacement for the plastic portion of the switch, or even a 3D printed version if anyone has the hardware and capability to do that.

The only other thing I can think of is removing the internal power switch and remounting it at the power switch opening, but I was hoping for something that looks a bit more professional.

I bet you could use a tg16 or pcengine power switch and just file or grind down the switch so it would fit in an express.

Well crap. I didn't notice in time.

Oh well. I've already rigged up a switch from radioshack that looks decent. I even got to leave the internal power switch in case I ever do stumble upon the original green outer plastic piece.
