Typical little repair job, replacing a broken power switch on a ZOOM H4n. The H4n came apart pretty easily with a small phillips screwdriver, nothing too tricky.
The power switch part# is JSM07011SAQNL I ordered mine via Newark for $2.97

HOW TO FIX THE POWER SWITCH WITHOUT REPLACING IT. you can use W-40 oil with that little ‘straw’ that comes with the spray. then you move the switch to the lock position, insert the little red straw that comes with the W40 spray bottle in the nozzle, then, spray into the smal whole carefully not to damage the switch. Then, you move the switch to the ‘on’ position, and spray oil again, on the other side of the switch. next, you slowly slide the swtich on and off , then you can test it, it will work. At least, mine did.

Want to know why you were struggling at 0:15? You forgot to unscrew the fifth screw on the clamshell. It is hidden under the third rubber plug between the CE and Z494 logos, and it is longer than the other four. That said, you probably broke the case when pulling it apart.

Very useful video, thank you. Encouraged me to do it myself too. Got the switch from Farnell here in the UK.

Go for it, its a pretty easy repair and nothing too fragile in there.

Do you know the spare part number for the Zoom H4n PRO switch?

@james3482 5 лет назад

Clearly I don't have your soldering skill. Seems successful secured into place, then I reassemble the Zoom, and the new switch falls out somewhere in the process. Maddening. I think I'm in for a new recorder, or remedial soldering lessons.

Good video. I'm about to perform surgery on the same model for the same problem. Other than the replacement switch, how difficult do you think it would be to hack in a much chunkier switch? I would like something solid. I was thinking even of two toggle switches working in concert.

@ironfur9150 6 лет назад

I would probably just use the same switch, it worked for years before the switch broke, not really worth trying trying to hack in a larger switch. It wouldn't be too difficult but tough to make it look nice.

hey do you know the part# of the volme button? I need to replace it..

@FamilyFilmmaker 6 лет назад

Hey Iron Fur! quick question for you, in a place that labour cost is almost prohibitive, would you perform a quick repair like the one you did on your ZOOM H4N? I'm in Canada and my zoom H1 power switch got broken all of the sudden. I don't see much sense on paying almost $100 in labour to fix a device that retails for $100. What are your thoughts in this scenario?

@JustAnIslandGuy 5 лет назад

This video would be more helpful if you could indicate WHERE YOU GOT THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH FROM. A few people have asked this but you haven't answered the question. Please tell us...what specific part number and from where!

@grantmckee7633 5 лет назад

You mean in the video description where I give the source (Newark) and part# JSM07011SAQNL as well as price $2.97?

Did you used some flux for the solder to do not melt the plastic of the card? I find a h4n who as the same problem for 40 box, but i am nervious to repair it, i've already made solder pour i am nervious to fail xd. Can you advice me? Thanks for your answer ^^

@ironfur9150 7 лет назад

Didn't use flux, just cleaned the board well with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. The solder I used is Hydro-X so after I soldered the switch I scrubbed it with a wet toothbrush.

How did you get a new switch?

Ok sorry just read the comments.

Hi, is this switch suitable also for H2N?

@ancarano 6 лет назад

I mean, H2N's has 3 positions: one for "hold" function, the middle one in witch is normally positioned and the third position for a "momentary" switch to turn ON the device. The switch that you indicate is ON - ON - (ON) (tech sheet found on google). Is this correct? Is suitable for my H2N? Thank you very much

Is there someone coming to catch you???? Whats the hurry? Atleast give some time for a normal person to understand the whole procedure. The video is tooooooo fast paced!
