So my Apple Color Plus 14" Display works fairly well, however, the switch doesn't want to stay in the on position, I have to hold it for it to stay on. Does anyone know how to fix this?View attachment 28131

Figured I would bump my post to see again if anyone knows how to fix this issue.
Thank you for letting me know what the course of action is.
Now, are there any places I can get a replace switch need? and if not any appropriate substitute?
you have to look at the original switch and get a part number, its the only way to find out if there are any cross references or availability of existing components.
What fails is the plastic. there is a pin on the top of the switch that rides in the groove of the plunger itself, and it is a latch/unlatch mechanism. Sometimes the pin breaks and disappears, or the plastic cracks and breaks so the pin just falls straight through in the lastched position causing it to unlatch.

Fortunately I have a replacement on order, just going to take a while since the only places that have them are in China.
Oh lord... LOL
Hi, sorry to up this thread. It's possible to share (part number, link, etc.) the replacement part you found for M1787 Apple color plus power switch replacement? I try Digikey, Ebay, Mouser, Aliexpress and don't find any appropriated replacement part.
