Could actually be the one blocking the whole thing<br />since it won&#39;t power up.<br />Watch out for the power switch parts, there&#39;s a spring inside the power switch<br />and things can fly out pretty quickly.<br />I like to open the switch inside a zipper bag for the same reason.</p> <p>Note: Avoid using contact cleaner on the power switch. Some type(s) of contact cleaner agent<br />absorbs into the plastic, making it extremely brittle&nbsp;over a couple of weeks.<br />Take the things apart, clean, deoxit&nbsp;and dust off and put it back together.<br />The center piece will slide nicely in it&#39;s square cutout&nbsp;if you add a small amount of silicone grease.</p> <p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/191250.aspxWed, 18 Mar 2009 17:32:17 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:191250Craig0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/191250.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=191250<p>Collected a Beocenter 3300 yesteday. It was listed as not working, in that it would not power up. Just tried it to conform this is correct. It is, but I think the problem is with the switches. If I press any one of them, it will not stay down. Is there something which can cause this, and is it easy to fix?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Craig<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
