Title: Replacement CD tray sensor switch - PCEngine DUO - Where to get?
Post by: mamejay on 06/09/2015, 11:49 PM
Hey guys,
I have been having problems with my duo and it thinking the CD lid is up when it is closed.
I checked and the switch looks like it been squashed at some point and does not spring back properly.
Anyone know what sort of a replacement I need for this?  Or what the name of the switch I need to be looking for?  I am sure someone in China has this type of switch somewhere but not sure what it would be called.
Thanks!

You could also just bridge the solder points so it always thinks the tray is closed.

True but I want this thing to be nice and complete.  For $6 it is worth it I think to have it working as expected.

I had forgot to check console5:

Putting this here for future reference as its a little cheaper and would get it faster if you are in the USA
