Greetings,

We operate a network of 30+ HP-3000 A500 boxes.  It seems that one of
the most common hardware problems is a power switch that decides not to
stay in the "ON" position.  The switch, being soldered to the board, is
not easy to replace, so the common solution is to use tape to keep it
turned on.

Is this a common problem with the A series machines?  Does anybody have
a better solution?
