I did that about 6 months ago. I'll keep my eyes out for a replacement panel.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 2:32 PM, Xander Hudson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:acet@synoptic.org">acet@synoptic.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

off when I took the panel off. I resoldered that wire (thick black<br>
one). That didn't fix the problem.<br>
<br>
I squirted some contact cleaner in the button and that did the trick.<br>
The button works now. It doesn't work perfectly tho.. I think the<br>
switch is on its last legs and we should be keeping an eye out for a<br>
replacement.<br>
<br>
Also, if we weatherproof the switch box that'll make it last longer.<br>
Right now it's exposed to rain/etc and it shows from the amount of<br>
corrosion on the contacts.<br>
