## Discrepancy

AFT LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTOR ANNOUNCES IN FLIGHT.  *S/D*  CHECK OF THE DETECTOR FOUND THAT THE TEST SWITCH HAD BEEN DAMAGED (NO DETENT) AND COULD VIBRATE TO THE ''TEST'' POSITION AND SOUND THE ALARM.  A SERVICEABLE DETECTOR WAS INSTALLED IN THE AIRCRAFT AND OPERATION HAS BEEN NORMAL TO DATE.
