Hi all,
Today seems to be a lucky day.
After a very long time looking for a s3 replacement, switch for reset even in Ebay but without luck, it seems I have found the direct replacement on Aliexpress.
Edit:

Not tested yet but checking on specs looks that is the right one.
I share it with you for:
1. If somebody confirm it that match it.
2. If somebody else need one, could use that.
Perhaps that needs some mods to fit it or adapt it, not sure yet because I am awaiting for it.
But I'm so happy to find it that here we go. Forwarded before testing it.

Re: S3 Reset Switch replacement
The AliExpress link is to the user order page, not to a listing for switches. Can you post the correct switch?

Hi all.
Got them and ...
Perfect.
Not sure if needs to be OC or CC by default. But how it can be modified... that's fine for me (I think)

Finally full test 
Very low cost for that replacement... bye bye Ebay jewelers.
Be aware!!!
In case you have the original heatsink, that replacement has some pins on the tip that should be covered in order to about accidental contact with the metal of the heatsink. Enjoy it my dear colleagues!

Spread the word please!
TitoxUnix already test it out and worked perfectly.
He made a video but it is not public.
Just please remark about the upper part of pins are metallic and should be covered if you have the original heatsink placed. Cause it could produce shortcuts.
¡Por supuesto! Es genial que se pueda conocer por todas partes. Por favor, sólo recalca (por si alguien no se da cuenta) lo de los pines superiores que hay que cubrirlos (porque el disipador es metálico y más o menos queda encima, por tanto si no son cubiertos con algo plástico (ignoro si del original vale la parte superior) puede haber cortos).
