    Dremel 8220 turns on when it feels like it

    I've got a Dremel 8220 here that's had maybe an hour's use on it tops from brand new, so the brushes are definitely fine.

    The fault is it just doesn't switch on sometimes. This can be after you've just used it or from cold. If you pull the battery and re-insert it will fire up straight away, every time, so it doesn't seem to be a physical issue with the power switch. Once on it works perfectly until you switch it off again, then it's pure luck whether it fires up again or not without pulling the battery.

    I've not really worked on these kinds of tools before so would appreciate some pointers on what to look for when I pull the PCB. Or should I try a new battery first?

    Cheers

      I would feel like smacking it against a wall. Get it exchanged under warranty if it only has an our of run time on it,

          You are probably right lol, it's still under warranty so I'll just send it in. Cheers

              Micro Momentary Push Switch?
              by Natob82
              Great to be here! I'm a newbie here trying to find a "micro", momentary push switch to repair a Sony "clamshell" video walkman. This micro switch has long since discontinued by Sony, however I hope there are third-party switches of the same size and functionality that I might be able to source to play the same role. The purpose of this switch is to tell the video walkman that the user has activated the mechanical tape eject button, turning that physical action into an electronic signal that tells the tape transport mechanism to open so one can load or eject a video tape. I...

              NEC TurboExpress On/Off Power Switch Replacement Help
              by grimacelord
              Hello,

              I've been working on a NEC TurboExpress and I accidentally got the plastic inside the power ON/OFF switch too hot while doing other repairs and melted it. At first, it would still power on when sliding the switch, but you had to really press inward while sliding to get it to work.

              I removed the switch component and tried to gently melt the plastic back so it would work more reliably and all I managed to do was make it worse.

              I need to find a replacement On/OFF switch for this, but having some trouble figuring out which kind of switch I need....

              by Stephen
              MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...
