Is this fixable ?

Broken switch, probably just 10p worth of component! It's about 7 x 2 x 5 mm in size.

If I can find a replacement switch should be easy to remove and replace ?

if you can find a switch and are decent with a soldering iron then that should be easy enough

One of these (but double check the measurements).

I replaced one on a pair of headphones we have, very simple job if you are handy with a soldering iron.

What smarts a bit is the minimum quantity you need to buy.

We had a barrel power supply connector go tits up on a router and after a quick Google took it to a battered electronics shop and he replaced it for a crisp £10 note in 20 mins.

Not worth the aggro trying to do it myself!
