How to replace the FMOD switch on my DEVO 10 ?

I know this have nothing to do with Deviation firmware, but I trust this is a place of good source of help on DEVO Tx.

I just dropped my DEVO 10 and broke the arm of the FMOD switch, anyone have experience in replacing this switch?

I figure I have to replace the entire switch, is this switch soldered to a PCB or just wires? Know of a Radio Shack or equ. replacement part number?

I am good at fixing these things, just have not open the Tx up yet and look around.

Open up the TX, it's actually pretty easy to replace, and it is plugged on the board and not soldered IIRC.

The only difficult part will be getting hold of a new one. If you cannot source it locally ask nicely at hobbyone.com.hk (they are Walkera).

I have broken my mix switch too 3 months ago. Replacement was quite easy - I bought the cheapest one I could get and soldered the wires from the old one to the new. Opening the tx and mechanical replacement of the switch are no real challenge.
The diameter was not identical so I have a different looking nut (? female screw), but the hole in the tx was usable.
I found the order: www.live-hobby.de , Graupner Umschalter Lang 3-Funktionen # 33001.20 (Graupner switch long arm 3 functions)

Thanks for the replies, did some more searches, wowhobbies.com (whom I purchase from regularly) also carry this, but they want too much $ for it, $14 plus shipping.

So this looks to be a SPDT center off switch. It is New Years Day I would think my local Radio Shack might be closed, their web site shows they have something that might work for a few $.

Thanks again for the info, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.

The FMOD switch is replaced, here are info for future reference.

Radio Shack opens on New Years Day! PN 275-0325, about $4 is a suitable replacement switch. The arm is round not flat and has various colored arm covers!

In the DEVO 10 the switches are connected via wires to cable harnesses.

Remove the 6 Allen screws to remove the backside, remove four cable connections to the PCB that are attached to the backside.
