Replacement power switch? Original dmg size

Post by gizmo » Wed Jun 17, 2020 12:12 pm

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know if the low profile power switches Nintendo used in dmg Gameboys can be bought separately anywhere? I see lots of ones for the gba advance on aliexpress but none for original gameboys.

I’m hoping to match the switch with kites saio so that I don’t have to dremel the cartridge slot.

Any advice much appreciated.

Here are a few options from the Wiki, you may have to trim the post that goes up into the slider switch down but minimal changes to the DMG shell.

Edit:: Camble's Safe shutdown uses a pretty slim switch from what I remember, he could probably direct you to where he gets that switch that he uses.

Thanks a lot for that @MrErickson The ones with side connections might be a good bet. As long as they're 5mm depth or less. I'll also ask Camble to see if he can point me in the right direction.
