Carefully lift up the printed circuit board

You will notice the failed switch has a broken white color plastic which is responsible to maintain the position of the rocker/flipper switch.

Viola! Discovered “Satay” stick is the perfect replacement for the broken plastic.

Cut the “Satay” stick to the required size

When reinstalling the printed circuit board, make sure the white color switch slide is in the middle and fitted into the roker switch.

Test the switch. If too tight, the Satay is too long, vice versa.. Laughing out loud
