« on: October 24, 2013, 12:28:04 pm »
ok so i bough these 2 led buttons >

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271273797999

i'm putting the light in it's socket (fits perfectly)
then puts the socket in the button
but it doesn't turn !!!!!!!!
i mean, i looks like it should turn all the little things there it's like it needs to turn
but with all my strength it simply doesn't turn ...
not only that
the micro switches i try to put them in the bottom of the socket as well.. and also can't put them there...

i'm afraid i'll break all of it... but seriously ... it drives me crazy...

Tilt the microswitch about 45 degrees, hook the shorter tab into one hole, then tilt the microswitch to snap in the taller tab.

Line up the tabs on the inside of the button body with the L-shaped slots on the LED socket.

Press in and twist to lock it into place -- you may need to rock the socket back and forth a bit to get it to engage both side at the same time.

hi :)
well with a screw driver (and ALLOT of pressure, i finaly managed to get the microswich into place, but as much as i try (and believe me .. i'm lining them up as you said here) it's just doesn't turn into place, it's like the socket there is too small or the plastic thingy's are too wide...but it just doesn't turn ..:( :( :( :( :(
