I've had a different problem. Those damn switches don't seem to like the
heat of a soldering iron. I noticed on a number of occasions after soldering
leads to a switch and then flipping the switch up and down, it didn't make a
positive clicking feel in one of the directions. Checking continuity even
confirmed that the switches weren't working right. I would have to flip the
switch on and off a whole bunch of times before it would self correct. One
switch I was sure I would have to replace but after about 100 toggles it
finally fixed itself. I don't know what's going on internally, but I now be
careful to solder them as fast a possible and get the hell out of there.
