Broken Standby button

---

I remembered that I had left my XDA IIi in my friend's car as I was leaving, so I asked him if he could open his car and pass it to me. Before my eyes he makes this huge fumble, like a bar of soap in his hands, and it comes crashing to the concrete floor!! :shock: :x

Apart from a few scuffs and scratches it seemed ok, until I tried to use the standby button. There was no click to it, and it only works now and again if I press it in the right place with enough force.

So I dismantled it to take a further look, and I can clearly see that the micro switch is broken.

Has anyone attempted to unsolder one of these? Looks a little too dodgy to me with the multi-layered board. As I don't use the 'tape recorder' button, I could swap it for that one if it was possible.

Such a shame for such small damage. Any ideas what I should do?
