I'm going to fix the power switch on my DS lite and I'm wondering if a spst mini rocker switch would be fine instead of getting that replacement slider. I've seen guides on the internet that say to use a 4 pin tactile switch, but will this one work? Considering one would need to solder only two lines.
It would work but its bulky,there's not a lot of room inside the DS. Just go for the tactile switch,I installed one in mine and it works great,if your in the US radio shack carries them.
Would this https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3020763 work fine? It's pretty small and it looks like I can just glue it to the side. But I do like rocker switches. Or maybe a slide switch? https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062488
Both will work just fine but I still say you should get the tact switch,the one I got was this. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3014504
Did it today and it works, though I should've gone with a slider switch but Radioshack was out of those. I have never seen an actual complete picture of a tactile switch on a DS Lite mod, but for once the Internet was right about something. :sneakiness:
Thought you were going to mount it on the inside,here is how I did mine. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/20130405_155518_zpsba464bac.jpg
