Agree, hook up a multimeter and take an OHM reading. See if the switch turn on and off consistently. If not then replace the switch, matching the poles. If the traces on the PCB are damaged, you can glue the base of the switch in the original position. Then run jumper wires at another contact point on the same trace.
