Hi, basically my alarm remote is playing up and ive worked out its down to the switch being worn.

My question is, can i just replace the switch?

If so, can anyone point me in the direction of a replacement (looked on Maplin's website, couldnt see anything similar) Also, is there a danger of damaging the other components on the board with heat from soldering?

www.farnellinone.co.uk , order code 372-7531 looks very similar. It's a DTSM-32S-B, and it's 6mm x 3.5mm x 5mm high.
21p each in packs of 5 in my well out of date paper catalogue.
Won't do any harm soldering the board if you've any soldering experience and use a 15W iron.

Cheers, are things like this a standard size in respect to the distance between the pins?

Go to the website and look in the tech info.

Bollocks! Cant order it unless i spend over Ԛ£20 anyway! (minimum spend for credit card payment)

[Brianmoooore]

Shouldn't be difficult to make up a Ԛ£20+ order. They sell a vast range of stuff.

Faiplay, but i think ive found somewhere else that will supply the same part on its own, if they wont, guess i'll have to just order some other electrical goodies lol!

Thanks for you help.
