My SVD firing button stopped working and I'd want to try dissasembling it. Any ideas? Thanks!
Dissasembling an Itaste SVD

Wish I could help... but there are several SVD threads on ECF. Maybe look at them?
Haven't found anything. Theoretically the top connection is a press fit complete cap. I'll try!
Yes, seems that way to me, too. Probably short wires attached, so be gentle...
If you have a few tools, or access, get a small block of wood, maybe 2x4 inches, about 1/2 inch thick, and drill a hole in the middle of it, as close to the diameter of the SVD, or just a hair smaller. Then cut the board in half, through the middle of the hole you just drilled. The wood taken away by the saw cut makes it into a clamp.
It would be nice to find some strap wrenches that small....
Take step by step pics. Not just for everyone here who has one, but so you know how it goes back together. In case a wire gets broken, you'll have a good chance of knowing where it came from.
But first, double check all the obvious. Charged battery, power on/off 3 click, display works, functions work - ohms, battery volts, etc. Everything functional and shows a topper when there is one, just won't fire?
And good luck!

all the obvious been taken care of. One day I started finding juice seeping out the bottom cap when upright. Shortly after the fire button started acting up, wouldn't fire, wouldn't turn on. A crying shame, a non sealed connection to start with...
What kind of topper was on it that leaked so badly?
Yes, it seems to be the standard insulator grommet holding the pin - leak resistant, but not proof.

Nice find
Wonder if the guts inside spin as you unscrew it (once you take the display cover loose, otherwise it could rip the soldering of the wires going to the head assembly
Using google translate
Unscrew the screen protector with whipped cr-v t5. Orazy pull the plastic cover. Photos of odlutowania pina did not. Just pull the pin, attach soldering, and he will fall off.
Then unscrew the top cover.
Pull out the plastic sled with a flathead screwdriver. Careful questioning that did not blow up.
Carefully pull the electronics that do not blow up.
Places where you have to unsolder the plate.
I ferelny the size 4,5 x4, 5 mm and a height of about 7 mm from the base.
Um..remove the battery first...silly

important info
we have two types of heads
one just glued, another threaded (like above)..It has two small dents, probably for special tool
my SVD (FT) head is glued (faulty fire button) and I don´t have any idea how to remove glued head

Makes sense that the dimples would be for a special tool. Simplifies assembly at the plant...
Maybe the clamps I suggested earlier in this thread would work. Make two, one to hold the body and one to grip the top, and rotate gently back and forth until the glue breaks loose?

You too bought it at FT? I think they buy rejects, that's why they sell it at half price. I'll try to get one from healthcabin instead when I can cough up the cash...
I simply used small flat screwdriver, hammer and brutal force - no way )), yes my SVD from FT.
My fire microswitch totally dead without click.
I´m 100% sure that problem is not with microswitch, but with inner construction design because of long distance between fire button and microswitch and he is highly stressed horizontally sideways. This will be probably problem to future for many users.

Very nice JX3P.
Fortunately, my mod is still fully functional.
I wish you a successful recovery switching button!

I have the same problem, after 5 months the switch misfires. difference is that I bought mine from US vendor. Unit still fires but sometime will shut off or misfire. Click sound is gone completely tough.

I have the same power button problem started after 4 weeks, 6 weeks old, it's collapsed no click, the smallest of travel still working for now but likely not long. Does anyone know where to source and buy the switch?

A good electronics supply house should have them, but can't recommend any your side of the pond. Maybe find an elex repair shop close and ask them?
Looks like when I get time and not trying to mod on a boat my knackered SVD will be my first mod box I just need to decide what box I can use GameBoy, Golden Virgina Tin or something funky
