Bosch 1617 Router Issue... - darita - 10-24-2018

I have a 1617 with the D handle.  On the handle, there's a button to press to hold the router on.  That button seems to have sunken in so far into the hole, that it it difficult to press.  I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue and is there a fix.

I would just go ahead and open up the handle and look at the switch. Most likely, something gave way inside the switch and you'll need a new one, but you would have to take it apart anyway if you want it fixed.
