Apparently during the assembly of my lightsaver, i did not properly seat the spacebar wire. Consequently the first time it took it anywhere, thereby turning it upside down, the wire became loosened in some way, and by the time i had it back on my desk, the first time i hit space it popped out.
i know technically the plate on the lightsaver is not mounted to the pcb at all, but that many switches are going to provide a pretty decent amount of locking. i don't think i'd have to desolder it all, but i'd be concerned about trying to detach that many switches from the plate without doing damage, so i suspect i'd end up having to desolder.
do i have any hope of getting it back in there without a total disassembly?
