Hello, this is my first post, hoping it to be in the right place.
I have a Job Rocker Plus speaker whose power on/off switch needs to be replaced because it's broken.
This is what I've tried:
- Removed all power source from the speaker
- Disassembled the rear panel and viewed the circuit board
I already have the new piece, and I have some tools like x-acto knife, pliers, soldering iron, and a hot air gun.
My questions are:
Any ideas of how difficult is to replace this switch?
What is the yellow material that sits beneath the heat shrink tubing?
How would you remove the heat shrink tubing? (Maybe using a knife and carefully cutting a slit and using pliers to take the whole thing out?)
I leave some images. Any advice or guide is welcome

Nah, there's already an LED battery level indicator, I'd assume that's the power indicator.
I'm back. Thanks for the answers, guys. Ok, I peeled away the shrink...
...so, I need a SPDT or DPDT switch? Any particular suggestion or it's the same in this case? How about this one? --> AC 250V/15A 125V/20A 4 Pins DPDT I/O Red Light Snap in Boat Rocker Switch 700955434287 | eBay

It's mandatory to inspect the switch to determine just WHAT contacts are open/closed in each switch position.
One set could be closed while the other is opened - etc....
Because you're dealing with a high amperage battery that is incorperated with a switchmode supply for charging, etc.
A wrong type switch here could spell fried wiring and extensive damage, if not fire.
This is not a simple "on/off" switch.
And good luck with all that, because this thing's a typical chinese unit that you'll never get a service schematic for.

Sorry, mental fart.
I should have written DPST or DPDT (wired as DPST so using only 4 legs):
Sorry again
