Using a power bar now

[bcbud3]

Hey everyone. The power switch on my 9090 burned onto the on position. I just want to make sure i am ok to use a power in order to switch it off and on until i can get the unit repaired.

I see why not.

If the faulty switch is firmly welded into the ON position, I see no problem in using an external switch. If the faulty switch is intermittent or gets warm when ON, I'd definitely replace it, Place a short across the switch's contacts to exclude it from the circuit while you wait for a replacement.

I used a heavy duty external extension cord with a power switch on my AU-11000 for several months without any issue. I just cleaned the switch a couple of weeks ago and restored its function. One of the contacts was lightly fused to one of the switch rockers on one side.
