It's an older AudioSource AMP 3 I just bought this week...I was quite happy with the Amp One I bought a month ago or so and and decided to try this because it was only $60 bucks since the switch isn't working well. It sounds great, but I have to put tape over the button so it doesn't pop back out. Just thought it'd be easy enough to fix, new switch, touch of solder, done!

I'm definitely no pro at all this, but it looks just like some old computer switches I use to have to solder to a PCB at a job I had in University. I don't think it's a cricuit breaker, it runs into the fuse at the back of the amp...just looks like a plain ol' push button to me...how would I tell?
Thanks.
