Palm TX Power Switch Repair

Step 3 "Fix" the switch

After removing the switch, pry the metal tabs apart until the whole thing falls apart. You'll see two metal domes used to provide spring force and tactile feedback when the power button is pushed. Check the body of the switch- it is probably dirty. This is what causes the switch to fail, and why it fails intermittently before it finally quits working completely. Clean it out with some alcohol on a Q-tip, then clean the domes and put it back together. Solder it back on the PCB and reassemble the case.

Reassembly is opposite the disassembly procedure, only much easier.

That's it! Now it should work again for several months.
