Replace switches?

[NickSwampMKE]

About 3 of the switches on my mfc seem to get stuck internally. The reveal button takes awhile to respond and 14 and 16 seem to get stuck internally. The actual button comes up, but it seems the activation function (for lack of a better term) is still engaged and doesn't "let go" until I tap the button a couple times. If I don't, nearby buttons will activate and deactivate the stuck switch.

I opened it up recently and everything appeared clean.

Should I, can I, replace the switches?

Ideas?

Thanks!

I found out recently (on my MFC Mk1) that if you overtighten the switch locking nuts it stops the switch working, baffled me for a while.

This occured after a strip-down to modify the Ethernet connector (that had broken) to Ethercon socket

Very interesting. I'll give it a shot!
