Introduzione
Vai al passo 1 ↓The Ottlite PL-0094 Dual Shade LED Floor Lamp uses a touch switch to turn the light on and off and set the dimming levels.
The touch switch circuit appears to fail in a way that decreases the sensitivity such that the lamp can no longer be controlled.
Amazon 1-star reviews of the product suggest this is a common problem.
And the touch circuit replacement board does not appear to be available for purchase.
However, it turns out the touch sensor still works if one directly touches the contact for the touch sensor.
Simple fix: add a metal washer, machine screw, and nut to the touch switch area.

Once you take the circuit board off of being mounted is there a way to test to make sure the light so works? We can't tell if the circuit board is the problem or not.
If you touch the conductive foam attached to the circuit board, you should be able to turn the lamp on/off/dim.
Thank you for your helpful guide. I am new to repair and stuck on the 5th step --the two plastic studs that hold the touch sensor circuit board in place--because I can not locate the two plastic studs. When I look behind sensor board, I only see a small white plastic square in the center above a grey round piece of fabric. One end of the white plastic square is attached to the sensor board and the other is attached white plastic housing and it moves in when pressed --is that one stud? I do not see the second stud. thank you. Sue.
