I'll grab some tonight. I was also able to get it for just a bit over $100. Not a bad deal, $150 woulda been a bit too high. It's built in Taiwan and seems as well built as the factory enclosure.

Corporate got back to me and said that since I've documented the issue with them they will "work together" if I need support after my warranty is up. I guess that's good-ish news.

Did the paperwork they gave you show the new part number? If they did it right it should, assuming they didn't just throw out the new switch and take their warranty money and run.
