The “On/Off” button my Volvo SC-815 radio broke - What to do. 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Tue Mar 23 10:34 CST 2021 [RELATED]

James,

I don't have the skills to make the switch repair you recommended above (my shortcoming). I did discuss this problem with my private Volvo garage and it suggested, I replace the radio with an aftermarket unit (which I am reluctant to do, because I like the "original stock look") or obtain a used radio from a salvage yard. I did order a used radio and it should arrive in a few days. Hopefully it will work. The salvage yard did offer to "warranty" the radio. I know that realistically this radio, like the one currently in my 850, is over 20 years old and this "old technology" just like me has a "shelf life". Someday, I may have to replace my Volvo radio with an aftermarket unit, but I hope to dodge that bullet as long as I can. Thank you for your response.
