Thanks buttersoft, I will probably give the soldering a try (unless some board show up soon)
lilshawn, looking at the
web page of the switch you recommended (TS02-66-
140-BK-260-LCR-D) I have a couple questions.
The "140" in this part # indicators an actuator height of 14 mm. My entire switch is about 5 mm tall. Is the actuator height is the height of the entire switch? In this I'll actually want part TS02-66-
50-BK-260-LCR-D instead. Or maybe the actuator is just the button part that moves, in which case the shortest 4.3 mm actuator (TS02-66-
43-BK-260-LCR-D) would probably be a better match
These switches all have four posts, but looking at my OSD control board each switch only has two solder blobs on the back side of the board. Do I just break off two of the posts and only use two of the switch posts? Or do I need a different switch type that only has two posts?
Below are two pics of why my OSD control board looks like. On the back pic I put a red square around SW401, you can see there are only two solder blobs.
