Romisen RC-G2 clickie broken.. Options for replacement???

[1pt21]

OK the Romisen RC-G2 is one of my favorite beaters for obvious reasons that we don't need to go into in this particular thread. The clickie on mine decided to bite the dust the other day with no rhyme or reason (though I have read here that the switches they use are junk).

The clickie is not entirely dead; it turns on only if I hold it all the way down. So essentially it is only a momentary light now lol.

Anyways, are there any available options to replace the clickie or do I need a whole new light?? I tried taking it apart, but it does not appear serviceable and after stabbing my palm with the needlenose pliers I gave up on it.

Thanks for any help in bringing her back to life!!!

I have replaced a number of RC-G2 clickies with this one:

The stock switch is crap. It eventually burns. It's for a few hundred mA only.

There's a lot of work with file, hacksaw and dremel tool bits to remove material from the switch module and shape ít to fit the new switch. I did a lot of these in a sort of industrialized process a while back. Will check for any pics of the process.
