My 1.25Ghz MDD went down yesterday. After swapping out the power supply and then the power switch on the front, it was determined that the button is defective.

Anyone know of a source for parts for an MDD- I need the front power button/switch assembly. there isn't much to it and esaily replaced, I just don't know of a source. eBay is there of course, but I don't need a whole machine and that part isn't showing up on a search.

Thanks for any leads.

You might try just getting an MDD enclosure on eBay. It's not the cheapest route, but as you've found, it's difficult to find the parts.

I wonder if a common, but ugly, momentary switch from Radio Shack would work?

Or is there something unique about the MDD's power button/switch that would preclude that?
