Is the circuit show in post #1 showing the original switch wiring or your new wiring ? That drawing seems to show the LED connected directly across the mains when the switch contacts are closed. If this is a 12 volt LED it will be destroyed by supplying it with mains voltage. Can you post the manual so we have more information on how the device is wred ?

The bom was purely to show you the components used in the enclosure,ie power supply input and fused switch, The led switch is an add on that I have purchased to make my life a little easier being in a wheelchair, and access to the front of the printer being much easier than trying to fumble for the rear switch.

Greatful for all the help so far received.

The original pic #1 was the wiring diagram that came with the new switch and led to the confusion as to how to wire it up as I had no idea which to choose from the 4 options I needed to follow.



Fig 3 was how I assumed it was wired up from plug to switch and on to the wago blocks which then supplied power to the rest of the boards.

But it wasn't destroyed. Which then means the switch maker must inline a resistor. My guess so cheap they don't have any bridge in the switch to make fully rectified DC for the LED, so the LED lights DC half wave.
