Good evening! I have a Virtue OLED board for DMs that has a bad power button. I have confirmed it is the button by making a connection directly on the board and it powers on. I checked with Virtue and they are not doing boards anymore so I am wondering if anyone repairs these or if there is anyone who may know a part number for the button itself.

Thanks in advance for your help!

any local electronics repair shop could do this for you, NOT a cell phone repair shop as most dont do board level repair, you want someone whos been around for years and does tv/hifi repair OR a 2way radio repair shop. there is lots of both in youngstown and pitts.

Thanks Paul! Are the buttons a standard part that a shop would have or something special?

they are a pretty standard electronic part, if they dont have they will most likely source it from mouser or digikey. make some calls and see whos still open these days. old school shops do better with calls than emails and facebook stuff.

Yes they are a pretty standard part. However I would not take it to a TV Repair shop or anything of the sorts. Most places like that will charge 60 up to even 120 an hour and your gonna pay for the first hour.

If you want to get it done on the cheap then PM me. I do repairs for Marker Boards. And in fact I have a Virtue board in my scrap pile I can get the part from.

Not turning this into a sale add but phantom01231 took great care of me on this and had a super fast turn around time!
Thanks!!
