Ah ok. To clarify, the pencil is used to poke in the earth socket to open the guards on the live and neutral sockets to allow the pins to enter. As soon as they start to slide in, I'd remove the pencil as it's not needed from then on.

Thank you for the info in your replies.

Well I did use it for a number of gigs and then sat in the bag for a while (hence the six months). TBH, we used to do similar in a computer store I worked in years ago when we got euro plugs in on something. At least I wasn't using a screwdriver to stick in the earth socket 😆

Does anybody else have a dodgy temp fix that has become semi-permanent? The earth pin somehow snapped off my pedal board power cube PSU whilst in its case. An IKEA pencil in the bottom of my gig bag pocket and a quick reshape with the multitool and voila! It's now fixed to the PSU with a hair tie and after six months is proving is efficacy 😃

Thank you, but I'm sure I can give you something (as I may need some assistance fitting it!) 😊

Amazing! Thank you very much.

OK. The spring does make contact when the switch is depressed but there isn't enough of it to activate the microswitch. I popped a nylon pick between the TACT and the spring, tried again and there is a definite click and the light activates and deactivates. So it's down to the spring. The serial number is - IMG_0880.HEIC IMG_0882.HEIC

Looking forward to the ton of gear head comments 😄 No, I actually am.

I did wonder about trying that, I certainly would like to try and get a permanent fix though.

Thank you. I appreciate your help

@Chienmortbb Ok a bit more info. The faulty switch does seem to make a click sound as per the other functioning pair. When turning the unit on, S1 is lit up and active automatically. It DOESN’T disengage when clicking it. If you click one of the others, they go active. If you then go back and click on S1 nothing happens. Hope that makes sense.

As I recall, on turning it on, switch 1 is active. It disengages if pushed but then won’t engage (I need to double check). I’m sure it does click but will confirm when I get home later. i had a quick look before going to work this morning and noticed the spring on S1 is too short and not in contact with the pad. S3 is in contact. Pics attached. I may well take you up on the offer 😃👍 Thanks.

Thanks I am a klutz when it comes to electronics and was a little concerned that I'd end up making things worse. I have Servisol, I have screwdrivers.. maybe I'll have another look. 😬🤞 I run mine on mains BTW.

Hi I have a Sansamp BDDI and one of the selector buttons (the first one) won't engage any more. I did contact Tech 21 to see if there was an official repair centre in the UK, but no. Therefore.. does anyone know a good electronic engineer/repairer more versed in music equipment that could fix it? (I'm in the Bournemouth area if there is anyone local.) Thanks

Let's see it!
