Hello,
great info I found here, but where do I buy a replacement button for my Drobo in Europe?
Kind regards and thank you in advance,
Heinrich
Hi, where do I find a replacement power switch for my Drobo 5N? BTW, thanks for the great tutorial!
I took my Drobo apart and the printed numbers on the switch are R13-112. I ordered these on Amazon:

I put it in, crossed my fingers, and BAM, worked like a charm. Hope that helps all the future DIY’ers.
Good article - thanks. Discovered my Drobo 5N (cir 2014) has a 3-wire spring-loaded switch with 2V LED (green) (wires: Red - White - Blue) Press once to turn on; Press and hold to manually turn off. Can simple R13-112 SPST switch be substituted?
Many thanks Rye. My Drobo 5C switch has been playing up for a while and your article gave me the courage to tackle the issue. A few dirfferences for the 5C (removing the back panel) but otherwise all tickety boo.
