Would there be anything obvious regarding the switch action? It's acting like a momentary contact switch. It doesn't "click on/click off" - you press it and it springs right back. Normal? I have to set aside some time to get under the hood here. But so far no one has experienced any component failures in the power on/off controller circuit itself? Rick
