Hi,
I have an action camera that had a big impact on one of its buttons and stopped working. When I opened it up I found this component that was damaged (crushed) I am guessing it’s a button micro switch ?

I don’t know anything about them but I found these on ebay will it be a case of desoldering and solder in the is the replacement ? do they have a right or wrong way to mount them.

Thanks for any advice.

It's a dome contact switch. We used to call them poppel switches.

 

Measure before ordering or canibalizing from abundant junk gadgets using small buttons. Also called tact switches.
Use proper desoldering solder suckers and tweezers to avoid traces damage. Practice removal with defunct donors.

 

Thank you both for your help I will try and find the right switch.
