1084S-D1 Power Switch

I removed the switch from my philips monitor and replaced it with some mains wire. You have to turn it off at the mains, but it won't fail again.

 
I've been meaning to look for a switch that will fit, even if it's a rocker switch. However it's not on the top of my todo list yet.

Agree, your best bet is to either glue it in the on position (safest) or wire it on permanently  (openies) and then put an inline switch on the IEC cable.

I replaced mine from an old crt monitor but it was a pain to install and now 3 years later it is starting to stick.

This is how you fix the broken power button on a Commodore 1084S monitor. Get one of these doohickeys and screw it into the monitor. Then it swivels up over the button and holds it in when you turn it on, and the button will turn off as soon as you swivel the doohickey back down.

That is neat Cammy. A great Idea.  You'd have to be careful with the length and position of the screw to make sure it doesn't touch anything inside, but a good idea just the same.
