laser\'s button has broken !

my laser button has broken (there's like an half button that is in the little hole) i can press it only with something like a match and not with my fingers so it makes it so much more boring

I think the buttons are normally held on with a dab of adhesive since there's not much to attach to.

You can try out this stuff for a source of easily moldable plastic. Their free sample package ($4.95 shipping) is more than enough to make LOTS of buttons or other little widgets.

Re: laser\'s button has broken !

or find some small plastic that's brittle and you can break off the right size and super glue it? You could take it apart and try to solder on a new switch. It's probably a small Tact switch that you can get out of broken old school VCR's and TV's and stuff like that from behind the buttons. Some have really long pegs too..

Is it a green or cheap red laser?
