    Default DG-16D5S open\close micro switch

    I've been given an xbox slim to repair, the disk drive keeps opening. The problem is the micro switch that determines the status of the drive is damaged.

    Originally I thought it was the common problem of a loose switch, but it turns out someone has already attempted to fix it and totally bodged it.

    The micro switch was covered in glue, as if someone tried sticking it back with super glue. I've soaked the switch in alcohol and its loose now but it'll still need replacing, it isn't loose enough.

    Can someone tell me what part I need to get? I've done some searching but can't seem to come up with an answer. Even better if someone has a spare or broken drive that I can butcher\swap the parts from.

    No one know the answer?
    I assumed it would be an off the shelf part. Are they common in DVD drives as I'll just buy a cheap one and canabalise that

    I dont know what the part is called, but know which one your on about. Check any old drives you have lying around and rob one off that. Or failing that check on RS if they do anything simlar.

    Thanks to AD
