    Hi all,

    I have a Toughbook CF-W8 and the LED in the power slide-switch stopped working.
    It's a bit annoying but not life threatening.
    I wondered if anyone had experienced this and might have some tips as to how to repair?
    If not, I guess it's just roll up the sleeves and delve in.

    Thanks, Dale

    I have a pile of T-7,T-8's for parts,if you need a bottom with switch you can have it for the shipping,around $7.

    I would think the switch was the same,they are a right bugger to get apart. :p

    Hi safn1949,

    Thanks for the offer. I used to have a CF-T7 and the switch looks the same to me too.
    I'll send you a PM and we can work out the details.

    Thanks, Dale
