Microelectronics repair shop in Dublin

Civilian_Target

I own a very nice little Rio Karma, which works perfectly except for the fact that this week, the power button failed, which means that you need a powered USB port to switch it on, which as you can imagine, is a right pain in the ass.

Its well out of warranty period so I opened it up to see if I could replace the power button, but of course, its a microswitch with a little rubbery-pokey-bit but coming out of it, which has collapsed. Since Rio refuse to fix it, and I'd rather not have to spend e200 on a replacement, I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a microelectronics shop somewhere in Dubln where I can get the switch replaced / repaired. If the MP3 player gets broken in the process, its not a huge deal, its worth at least trying to get it fixed for 1/4 of the price of a new one.

Basicly, does anyone know where I can go in Dublin to have a chance of getting this microswitch fixed?

If the little rubber bit has just collapsed, but the microswitch is still intact, stick a piece of non-conductive material in there (e.g. paper) and that should sort you out.
