I have run into the same situation on various consoles over the years where a small plastic pin or nub breaks off. Sometimes super gluing a new piece of plastic works, but that probably would last long. The way i fix broken NES door hinges is find a machine screw with the correct outside diameter, then drill a hole where the pin needs to go and thread in a small cut off section of the screw. I sometimes i add a dot of glue or thread lock depending on the material. the switch toggle is tiny so finding a "hobby" gauge sized drill bit may be a challenge. A tiny screw shouldn't be a problem. you can cut them with pliers and thread it in with needle noses. Good luck |

I don't think super-gluing would've worked anyway; the pieces I need to glue back together are maybe a milimeter across. I'd risk gluing the power switch in place. Same goes for the screw. I just have a feeling that it'd be too risky as to drill the hole I'd also risk breaking the switch. Thanks for the tip though |
