HELP I BROKE MY POKER 2
« on: Wed, 03 September 2014, 12:14:06 »
So... I was removing a spacebar from my poker 2 (YES I WIGGLED) and it pulled the stem straight out of the switch and broke the top of the switch off and bent the LED. What is the best way to go about fixing this? I've never soldered nor desoldered anything. Can I send it to someone to replace the whole switch?

First, don't panic. Be calm, breathe. :)

Second, if you're not willing to solder or desolder, LastPilot just fixed someone's board who did the same thing. Also Dorkvader is based in the USA and I've had my board go to him for work. You or someone else will have to desolder the switch and LED and replace them.

Just because you haven't soldered or desoldered doesn't mean it's all that difficult... granted, you have to buy a few things.
