What about replacing the soldered portion of the switch? The tip that moves with the plastic to turn the handheld on/off has broken off of mine
Yeah, what he said..
If the plastic tab has broken off of the soldered part of the switch, you could try to glue a replacement tab onto the internal sliding mechanism, but more likely you’ll end up gumming up the works and effectively destroying the part, but then again it’s not as if you have a lot to lose by trying.
Alternatively you’ll need to get a replacement switch and desolder the broken part then installing the new part. Be careful that you don’t get the iron in contact with the top of the switch as that may melt the moving parts together, potentially necessitating another replacement.

Just desolder the old faulty switch and solder in your new replacment.
