Ubiquiti UniFi access point fix broken reset switch

You can do SSH Factory Reset.

In my case I was able to press the button through the whole and I could feel the "clicking", but apparently the switch was bust. After opening up the AP, I was able to short left and right side of the micro switch with a short piece of wire to reset it.

Hi. Mu unifi ac pro would startup fine. But its signals are full only when i and within 2 ft from it. Any far from this distance and no wifi signals.
Can you help what might be wrong. Someone in a post said that a lose somthing on the motherboard is the cause but i could not identify any such thing

Awesome. I kept trying to reset my AP and it felt like there was nothing in the hole! Mystery solved!

I don't have the issue where the button has detached from the board. However, it does get me wondering if the button itself doesn't work anymore.

Thank you. In my situation the reset button hole was not aligned with the button! used a self tapping screw to make the hole bigger.

Thanks, i was able to repair this button

For me the button snapped off completely. Soldered two small wires to the leads, expanded the reset button hole and fed them out. When the wires touch it resets. Put some electrical tape on both wires for the intermediate period when not needing the reset.

fuck me what a lazy, cheap and stupid design. Cheers for the help!

Thanks for the video! My button was also broken off and I don't have a soldering iron. However it was simple to hold down the button on the board itself for 10 seconds, it reset, and I was able to finally re-adopt it.

How about if the access point did not reset what must be the problem, my access point is sailsky

How much you charge for repair?

is there a way to activate the reset switch if its been missing? i bought a refurbished nas drive which failed on me and i couldnt get the reset switch to work. after opening i noticed the button was gone completely
