Electronics parts stores in Surrey
Ola,
Might you help me find stores/shops that sell electronics part in UK pls? More particularly close to Surrey or Guildford or even Central London. The part is a rocker switch something like shown below as well as spade connectors for the terminals.
Though the actual switch has only three (3) terminals at the back.
Cheers.

I go to my friend's part store in Cricklewood, but that is not Surrey.
All over UK Maplin Electronics,
There is one in Edgware road in London, one in Totthenham Court road, and one in Camden town.
Totthenham Court road is one mile long or so, and is the electronic street, only electronics and component shops in there.
I have been in Guildford just once, for local shops better using the directory: Local business results for Electronics parts stores near Guildford, Surrey
Lol,
I dont't buy that kind of spares, I just pull it out from an old power adapter if I really need to.
I do not know if such a fused switch socket is a standard replacement, or if there is a part number.
Component shops have standard parts. semiconductors, caps some regular switch, etc. to get this part in stock you must be lucky.
If this comes from a PC power adapter she need to replace the whole power adapter, it is cheap and faster.
Alternatively she can take a train to totthenham court road with the spare in hand and show it to the few hundreds computer and electronic spares shops in there. They will likely find something that fit in the original place.
Let me know if this is a PC adapter, in that case is imperative replacing the whole parts, we take this thing very seriusly in UK, she should not alterate a power adapter.
More, the socket that you show me is fused , did she check that is not just the fuse blown.
