ASUS router power switch “repair”

[@M2GAMER10]

Worked PERFECTLY. My RT-AC66U just started this problem today and I just fixed it with this technique. So glad I found your video! Thank you

[@TheBayAYK]

Fixed mine in 10 seconds with a penny and some tape. No disassembly required.

[@DSchorow]

Why not just put duct tape over the switch on the outside to hold it down, without even opening up the box?

[@TheBayAYK]

I put a penny and then tape. Works!

[@SergiyGagarin]

When you go to a trouble of disassembly get out soldering iton and just make a bridge on two bottom pins of power button (bottom means those that are far from all the sockets)

Thanks, this helped! Was looking for a button repair video, but for this purpose this was a reasonable fix. Ive had the RT-AC66U router for 10 ish years now. Definitely served its purpose. I skipped adding glue to the fix, since we are dealing with heat and electricity. As a fire engineer i was a bit spooked about it catching on fire due to flammable gases. But those odds are probably non-existent. Instead i just cut an old driver license card into 3 fitting pieces nudged in that small area.

This is the best repair video for a router power button ❤ toothpick hack also works 😂😅

[@abdellahbouksim5724]

hello, thank u for this video. I had the same problem as you and finally I have just removed that spring, push the the button and the power was on all the time.

Great!

Thanks Abdellah, I went with your solution in the end. Also thanks to WDL for creating this video, I appreciate it!

Thanks so much! I also have this power button issue for my AC88U. I decided to use the toothpick quick fix haha

[@fooBar55]

My router just did this today. I put an electrical tape over the switch (fully coverd so dont need the toothpick). It covers the uSB slots but dont need the USB. Gald I found this so it confirmed that the switch does not stay pushed in. Maybe i will open and fix it as shown in this video one of these days. Thanks

Cheers, pulled an AC66U out after a couple years to start on a new project and this happened

[@Ben-vu1nb]

Great video same here, running with loctite putty and a rubber band until I can take it apart, thanks for putting out this video!

[@twoscoops2]

Mine just started this yesterday and today the power switch would not stay pushed in, I'm using tape and found this video. I wonder why they fail.

[@michaelpaul9179]

Great video, I love your solution!

아주 유용한 정보였습니다. 당신 덕분에 제 공유기를 계속 사용할 수 있어서 기쁩니다.

My switch broke as well. I got inspiration from your video to solve it. I removed the hat and used a tiny cable tie to hold the button in and secured it with some hot glue. I also used 7 mm longer screws and 3d-printed 7 mm thick spacers between cover and motherboard to improve cooling => 7mm gap between cover and body. Thanks for the video!

[@BehrouzSedigh]

This is the ultimate solution. don't try to replace power switch , because It's very hard to repair and required some tool to remove switch.

[@KrestenLundegaard]

GREAT! Helped me this morning. Thanks for the video 😀😀😀

[@pedroricardo1072]

very nice tip! just used it on my ac88u which just had this issue

[@jheems.4882]

Great! Didn t even watch the video. The thumbnail said it all

[@MrDilldock]

I have the same router an it just happened to me yesterday. The duct tape over the button I used just jept coming undone after a few hours. I'll give this a try. Thanks sir.
