Hi, where do I find a replacement power switch for my Drobo 5N? BTW, thanks for the great tutorial!

I took my Drobo apart and the printed numbers on the switch are R13-112. I ordered these on Amazon:

I put it in, crossed my fingers, and BAM, worked like a charm. Hope that helps all the future DIY’ers.

Good article - thanks. Discovered my Drobo 5N (cir 2014) has a 3-wire spring-loaded switch with 2V LED (green) (wires: Red - White - Blue) Press once to turn on; Press and hold to manually turn off. Can simple R13-112 SPST switch be substituted?
