5: Push the switch to turn on, pull it to turn off.
I did that with the mains switch in my Philips external CD-ROM drive. I
did manage to get a replacemetn in the end (after I'd found which CD
player it was based on, so I could order the switch for that. For some
unkwn reason the serviec manual for the CD-ROM drive doesn't give a part
number for the switch).

Anyone familiar w/this unit? The power switch in
the back won't stay
engaged (you press, and it clicks, and power comes on, but it pops
back out, and monitor shuts off). I imagine there's probably a part #
on the switch, but I forgot to look this afternoon. Asked in case
anyone's familiar w/it.
The Cheater's Way #1:
1. Find a cocktail stick, matchstick or similar.
2. Push the switch in
3. Jam the matchstick down the side of the switch, between the button
and the switch casing.
The Cheater's Way #2:
1. Solder a piece of mains cable across the switch terminals
