Here is a further note to my dead fastrack switch problem. I had measured 4700 ohms for the inline 2-ohm resistor and thought that the wrong resistor had been installed. Nope! When I cut away the heat-shrink, I found the charred remains of the resistor. I have now seen a number of posts about problems with this resistor. Does anyone have any idea what would cause it to blow (other than a user miss-wiring the switch)? It would imply a pretty big current through some part of the PCB. I hope my PCB is not destroyed!
