I bought a USB music keyboard at an electronic shop and didn't notice that the on and off switch was busted. I tried the usual to get it to work by seeing if I could wedge something small it to move it to the on position, but it was flexible and didn't have any resistance whether moved left or right. Moving to on didn't get the keyboard to flash on in the LCD. My first thought was maybe that I could short it to the on position by soldering on the board, but I don't have much experience and thought maybe that might blow something out.
So, my thought is to take the part out and photograph it and to see if any of the supply stores online have a sales department I could send the picture to to make sure that the part would be exact. It's actually a tiny switch and has to fit in a very small slot.
Any ideas on fixing this would be appreciated, as well as possible stores that have good customer service for this kind of thing.
Thanks.
