Ion on button problem

[PreacherMan]

Ok i have a dilema, i had a virtue on/off button, which is basically just a sticker and not worth the hassel.

Anyways, i have basically broke the soft button under the bubble thing. The actual soft button on the board.
Will i need to replace the board? or can it be solved ( i have no soldering equipment and i need it tmorro.)

As i'm unsure what you have checked i'll go thru the basics.
1=Is the battery definately ok?
2=Is the battery connector ok?
3=Are you sure it's the switch or just the membrane?

To check "3" remove the body from the trigger frame and draw out the main circuit board, then re-connect the battery and try to turn it on with your finger directly onto the switch, if it turns on then re-assemble the gun and leave it switched on. if it doesn't then your boards basically screwed , unless you are a soldering wizard

And you can in fact replace the whole switch with one from a shocker or similar (its a dwell switch) or, if you want to get fiddly, open the switch and replace the broken plastic bit.

And by the way, the standard on/off is also just a sticker and the Virtue ones are wildly better than stock.

Did you break your switch by sliding it out of the frame?

where did you buy from? if it was a site they mite fix it for you, i know my local site has a SP tech and he replaces alot of stuff. If you bought it direct from SP then you can send it back to them, although the cost may not be worth it, maybe you could just upgrade your board

That may help

You could always do the Dye membrane mod. Negating the need for a switch on the main board.
