Hi guys

this is a vibration/electric shock collar and I am having issues with the up and down power buttons (circled in red on the last photo). Does anyone know the name of these pieces and can they be replaced?

Thanks!

Why do you think the button is the problem? Have you tested them? They should test open until pushed and then short.

I am 100% sure. I don't know how to showcase with the photos but the one button doesn't have a white back piece so when it's pushed from the side the black button pieced doesn't pop back out. The other button is half sheared off at the connector joints. A simple resolder should fix that one. The white back piece missing is not going to be replaced, I don't think. I am looking to completely replace that one.

 

Good luck, you're going to need to use a set of metric calipers to measure what you have now. A mistake I made in not doing when replacing buttons on my son's quadcopters flight controller. They may look the same, but you need to measure precisely to be sure.

Awesome thank you I will. Do you have a response in regards to the additional comments about metric calipers?

 

You'll be close eyeballing with a metric rule. Hopefully close enough. Pad to pad on the base, height and width on the button, how far from PCB to base of button, button thickness maybe. Try to match the PDF specification for what is being sold. They may look the same but come in many sizes.
