I recently acquired a Beomaster 4000 (US version) that was dead on arrival.  I traced the problem to the mains power switch (the switch lives behind the "off" toggle switch).

I removed the protective shroud and confirmed with my Ohmmeter that the switch is always open, even though it looks like the mechanism and spring work as they should.  I soldered a jumper wire there and the unit fired up when i plugged it in.  It sounds "tinny" so i'll be recapping it after solving this issue..

It looks like major surgery to get the switch out. I am guessing you need to remove the face plate which looks involved.  Has anyone ever removed one of these?  Probably similar on a Beomaster 3000.

Once out, can it be disassembled or do i simply need to find another switch someplace?  It can't be a super common problem since i couldn't find a single hit on anything similar in this forum.

Thanks!

It's a 5-10 minute job.
Desolder the wires.
Carefully bend the four small tabs on the release rail up to vertical and wiggle the switch out.

Is this the same switch as yours:
