Today I got my PowerMax 60A power supply in the mail and I was adjusting it to work for my application. When I was changing the switch to go between 3-stage/fixed output it broke off. Stupid how it's so small but I'm sure there's a way to fix it. If anyone has an idea let me know please as it would be greatly appreciated!

If you have decent soldering skills and can find an equivalent switch you could replace the switch. But I'm sure that would void the warranty. I had a PowerMax fail 6-7 years ago while still under warranty. Their customer service talked to me and in fairly short order they sent a replacement to me that has worked ever since. Since this is new I'd go the replacement route without question.

Try to get it returned/replaced/repaired factory before messing with it. If that fails that micro toggle is $1 and you just have to solder it on. But don't fiddle with stuff you don't have to on a new item.
