DIY Fix: Vitamix 7500 Blender Won't Turn On

Someone sold me this blender because it was no longer running. All they told me was "one day it stopped working." I'm guessing it got dropped?? The standby lights were working and it wasn't overheated. After messing around with it for a while I found that it would turn on as long as you're putting pressure on the speed-control dial. I decided to make a video of my taking it apart and my makeshift solution.

Well shoot. I have the same unit that's about 5 years old and the start switch hasn't worked right from the start. But the dial and pulse switch works fine. Was hoping there was going to be an easy fix for this like simply replacing the switch but it seems to be an inherent problem with the boards in these things as this seems like a pretty common problem. I've sent an email to Vitamix as surely they know about this and we'll see what they have to say. They're probably going to want the unit back and charge me to fix it since it's likely out of warranty, even though the unit was like this from the factory. What a pain. Thanks for the video though. At least I know how to take the thing about if I need to.
