Subject: I don't think it will overheat. The new switch should last for many years, but Author: DavidC (moderator) : member since December, 2003 : 11909 posts Posted on: 2004-04-28 23:22:58

definitely the screws are a better mounting technique in the long run. Fortunately, there are no circuit traces underneath the switch, on either side of the board, so removing it even with the glue should be manageable when the time comes again (in about 10 years, I hope !!! ).
