hey, /tech/ here, wondering about a part that I found in a monitor.
Basically, the switches behind the buttons have gone to shit, causing the monitor settings to flicker on and off. I was able to find the exact switch used for sale at radioshack.
However, I noticed that out of the four poles that the switch had, a pair of two on opposite sides of one another, in the monitor two of them had been cut off, and some sort of plate had been attached to the button, which added two poles to the side which had both of its poles intact
I figure this plate thing was for nothing more than stabilization, as other wise just those two poles on the bottom side of the button would be holding it onto the eletronic board, but still I'd like to find this plate so that I could fully repair the switches.
The switches in the monitor are this sucker:
