Switch replacement

Can someone please tell me how to get this.

Onto this little green board thing?

I have a sodering iron and have been poking at the thing for about an hr. I'm having trouble removing the old switch.

Do you have a solder sucker? Easiest way would be to remove the solder from each pin currently attached to the PCB. Either that or use six soldering irons simultaneously to heat the pins and remove the board while they're still hot!

Looks like only 4 pins on your switch are used. Can you trace the points from your wire back to your switch? Is it feasible to just eliminate that small pcb?

If you have a small pair of dikes (wire snipes, side cutters) cut the tab between the green pc board and the switch body. Repeat this for all six tabs. Now you just have the task of removing one tab at a time. Of course this destroys the switch, Be carful not to put pressure on the green pc board when cutting so as not to break the board.

All three stated above are good ideas depending on how comfortable you are with electronics and what all equipment you have.

I would have to say this would be the easiest way. Just use a desoldering tool and just heat each lug up and take the sler off one by one then pull the switch off.

If you don't have a desoldering tool and have basic knowledge of PCB boards you can go the route of customtele and just follow each lug back to the corrosponding wire marking them somehow, clip the wires offand just attach the wires directly to the new switch. If you don't feel comfortable doing that maybe you could take a good picture of the bottom of the pcb board and post it in here and someone might be able to follow it for you.

My last option personally would be to cut the switch off. By no means underminding you JDerrickR, just not the preferable way with my train of thought. Although if that is the only way I would recomend maybe a small detailing jigsaw or reciprocating saw blade and cut them off flush so you are not putting unneeded pressure on the board as JDerrickR has said

The workable alternative to a desoldering bulb, is solder wick. Lay the end of the wick on the joint, apply a tinned iron, and it will suck the solder off clean and neat. Clip the 1/4" or so that's full of solder, and move on to the next joint.

I'd get a solder sucker. I prefer the spring activated, turkey baster type. its kind of like a pop gun. You lock the spring, heat the connection, then place the nozzel on the hot solder joint and press the button. It usually sucks all the solder out of the hole so you can remove the part.

Yup, solder sucker's the way I'd do it as well. About $8 at radioshack.
