exactly, fitted them there! https://imgur.com/a/RtNWO4c the switch works perfectly now! thanks for your help and support Andromeda! now my new problem is fixing an automatic point-switch. i have an automatic point-switch with a broken axle (see picture below). i need to take a good axle from a manual point-switch and put it in the automatic! i found this post of yours but i can't take the two parts apart... i already ruined the holes underneath trying to separate them

Behold, my first useful post to the community Finally a picture of a MkII switch inside! Now I have to find out where the 2 small parts on the left were positioned (they fell off from somewhere)

I haven't any idea how to remove the buttons. I will just try to blow some air and give up.

@Andromeda thanks for your answer. I am sorry, my photo was bad. I think I did break the chemical in the five external places but not above the buttons. I think I am just too scared to break the buttons, they look delicate and inserted in the 2x8 piece in a way I don't understand.

I was able to "unglue" the external border... but I can't get to unglue the inside side, just above the buttons! I am afraid that if I leverage, the buttons' plastic mechanism will break https://imgur.com/a/PRdZKHX

thank you so much Andy!

if I understand correctly: the "triangular version switch" has V-shaped metal inside the sockets right? (and feels cheaper pushing the buttons) the "classic switch" has O-shaped metal inside the sockets. (and feels very elastic pushing the buttons) I have both versions, but the broken one is the V-shaped! I suppose the opening process is the same, so I will follow this tutorial

Andromeda! I have had a very busy month and only now I discover you fixed the pictures links! Thank you so much my lego friend! ^__^ .▀█▀.█▄█.█▀█.█▄.█.█▄▀　█▄█.█▀█.█─█─.█.─█▀█.█▀█.█.▀█.█▀▄　─█.─█▄█.█▄█

by the way, does anyone know what this is (i have only one of them)

hello lego friends, i just made this layout on bluebrick, i only have 32 straight rail couples, so this is the biggest track i can get (i only use 30 because one or two will probably break because of old age) this should work right? it shouldn't shortcircuit or anything? thanks! can't wait to start building ^__^

Damn, I don't have the courage to open that glued 2x8 studded piece without having even a single image to assist me. I send a curse to all the "image sharing services" owners such as imageshack etc. that destroyed thousands of forums by suddenly making their links stop working. I curse you!

does anyone have these pictures of the remote open? I have three 12V Remote Control 8 x 10 with Switch Pattern -----> https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4707pb01#T=C&C=9 I managed to fix one of them! Now using a multimeter I get 12v-15v in input (side plug) AND 12v-15v in output (top plug) while pressing the buttons but the other two are still broken! I get 12v-15v in input (side plug) but I can't get 12v-15v in output (top plug) while pressing the buttons :-( I am trying to clean them, moving them but so far no luck! Inside pictures would really help! Any advice? PS thank you Andromeda for creating / sharing this thread.
