		Just opened up my saturn to see why I was getting the open lid error and realized that the little switch had broken. Now the saturn wont do anything, but the open lid error. is there any quick/easy fix for this? I'd appreciate any info. Oh, btw, I read the rules and looked for the misc section, but did not see it. If I've posted in the wrong forum I apologize in advance. thanks

		One solution is to tape whats left of the switch closed which will make your saturn think the lid is always closed. Or you could replace the switch with a slide switch so you can manaully open and close the switch. Has the switch snapped or has it just got bent out of shape, it might just need a bit of manipulation to get it working again

		it snapped off. I think I'll try a slide switch then. So, i would just solder it onto the wires the switch is already on? thanks
