Mark,
My usual strategy when I've identified a duff one is to chop all the pins with a sharp pair of cutters, lift them out with a pair of tweezers while melting the solder and mop the solder up with wick.
Lawrence,
Mine did that for a bit and I took to using the Wall Switch, which I found a bit odd 'cause it shouldn't make any difference. Eventually the Mains Switch siezed up and I had to bite the bullet and sort it - just lack of lubrication in a very primitive looking open-frame switch. It hasn't done it since, which I find even more odd. Perhaps I'll get round to the FAZ soon as I've now obtained the plugs and cable.
