Switch on DX 30mW Green Laser Broken

[nitrodude150]

Does anybody know a solution for me as I do not want to short the switch and use a 'twist' in method as it is pictured below. My laser has the same switch it just doesn't have a wire soldered to it as pictured below. If anybody knows where I can buy such a switch, that would be a REAL Help! THANKS IN ADVANCE!

you could just buy a cheap 5mW red laser and rip out the switch..

Yup that would work, all you need are some novice soldering skills.

That's a 3mm x 6mm tactile switch. You can find them at Mouser, but what you'll pay for shipping is unbelievable. Your best bet would be to order a 5mW greenie from DX and harvest it off of its driver.

The button from a cheap red pointer is 6mm x 6mm and may not fit on the board without interfering with some thing else.

I have the one you want. You can have it. Just pay the shipping. PM me if you want it.
