That would mean swapping the entire rear half of the case, as the "springs" for the switch button are just two plastic strips ultrasonically welded to the case.

Thanks for all replies so far.
I've decided I'm just going to replace my 940. I want a device that has LIVE services and can be attached to a powered bracket (similar to my existing 940). This appears to leave me with the x1000 series but I hear mixed reviews although the hardware review on this site by Mike Barrett gives it 8.5/10 which I would say is pretty good.
Think I will try the 1005 and see for myself and if it's too bad then I'll just send it back.

I've been having this problem recently! I've found that leaving the top right case screw loose, seems to allow the external button to "pop up", rather than get stuck down - hopefully this will see me through until eBay throws up a donor.
Can someone confirm that the external case for the 540, 550, 740, 750, 940 & 950 are all the same? And remind me what the functional differences between the 940 & 950 were?
