tempremental power button!

lav.loo - 2012-10-20 14:47

hi just wondered if anyone may know what could be causing the power button on my tosh 8900 to be tempremental?

sometimes it powers on no probs and other times i have to give the button a little wiggle for it to stay on.

also one of the led's is out, most likely cause a blown bulb i presume?

any suggestions would be appreciated, cheers all

the LED's are diodes, not the bulbs, so they have to work for a long time, unlike lamps.

The problem lies in the VU's PCB, it could be the minor fault,  such as cold solder joint, or one of the components is faulty, but most likely - it's a simple fix.
