The battery took out the switches on the logic board. Are they common and avaible to purchase? the buttons in the case are fine but it is the switches on the board itself that I cannot find. I have another battery bombed logic board that uses the same switches but they really look questionable too.

The 12x12 switch included in this assortment on Amazon worked for me:


It’s basically the exact size and fits on the plastic stock switch support and the legs fit the logic board holes. They are a bit clicky compared to the stock switch but I was fine with it.

I wasn’t looking for a replacement when I got this set. But I had two busted ones in my SE and my Quadra 950 and these just happened to be what I had and they worked.

You can still buy the exact same from Mouser. You‘ll have to reuse the plastic brackets though..

I did not realize it was a two piece deal. I just took one apart. That helps a lot, just knowing that. Although I am missing one of them. So my problem is half solved. That being said, the ones on a 6100 bombed board may have good plastic stands so that may solve the problem. It is not that big a deal but I do like to bring things back to complete form if possible. And the plastic buttons just are loose without the actual switches mounted. Thanks a lot. Just what I needed to know. 🙏

Thanks for that follow up @jmacz I actually bought that kit from Amazon. Have not put board in the tower yet but I think there is enough room. I also found more corrosion on the traces and the battery connections were bad too. I am a real amateur on trace repair but it all works so that is a good thing. A little more ISO cleaning and I am going to put back together. The Q950 came with 3 cards, one of which a Photoshop accelerator. This machine was a Photoshop 3.0 dedicated server. Also a video card SuperMax S24 PDQ+. I have no room to install the cards on the bench so I need to assemble to test them.
Last card is a ATTO Silicon Express 3D. I have no idea what it does.
Again, thanks for all the help here. I appreciate it.
