Hi, where do I find a replacement power switch for my Drobo 5N? BTW, thanks for the great tutorial!

Stephen R Parrott -

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.
