At first I too thought that I did not hear it, but I touched the compressor and it was not hot at all - the thing you'd expect from compressor running for a while.

Problem is that I am no electrician and always feel uneasy working with electronics. How do I make this thing work again? Is it easy to replace internal switch?
Can I make the compressor to a on board compressor and do I need a relay and why ?
