Defective LED Illuminated Pushbutton- 30mm Square

Post by floppysandalsftw »

I've just received the buttons I ordered a few days back today, but there is a missing contact for the square pushbutton, as in the pictures below, meaning that the LED won't light up. Could I exchange it for another button, or get a spare contact shipped to me? Thanks for your help.

The product is https://www.adafruit.com/product/491 - The contact appears in the product images so I assume the item is defective. This is my first electronics project, so I don't have any spare parts with me I could use :(

Examining the product again, one of the "legs" has snapped off too- I didn't notice it at first!
