It’s a easy fix with a micro switch replacement. If You can solder - easy, if not, give to a friendly electronics service - not going to be expensive

There is nothing on the internet as a tutorial. You need to use common sense. If You don’t have any experience with this kind of equipment, I would suggest to give it to someone with more electronic skills.

All fixed, stripped it down and removed the board, let the microswitch soak in some wd40. Working like a charm now 🙂

Well… not for long. Wd-40 is not the best solution for it…
