Replacement PAD switch for Bass POD XT Live?

Years ago I started a thread called "my Bass pod went mental". It would spontaneusly change its volume and tone to loud and harsh. After a long time I have isolated the problem. Its the slide switch for the 10db pad. As it vibrates it changes its connection somehow. You can duplicate the problen by sliding the switch half way. Touching the switch reseats it.

The part number of the PCB is 50-02-0030-2A and the barcode reads 01295197 PCB date code reads 529 (let me guess; unit 197 from Wk29 2005. We use the same system)

I work in electronics for a living so the work is not a problem. Can anyone tell me the spec of the switch so that I can get one?

  According to your link there are no service centres within 1000 miles of london, so you might want to take a look at your software. I googled elsewhere and found a phone number.

    In case you were unable to get the right one, you can locate Line 6 UK with that same service center finder link:
    
    The POD [ Line 6 UK ]
    +44 1788 566 566
    Clifton House Butlers Leap
    Rugby, Warwickshire , CV21 3RQ
    
    It's still not that close, but much closer than 1000 miles.

      Thank you Hugo but I had already found those guys.
      
      a/ they don't have one, and don't stock them, and didn't offer to get one.
      
      b/ (more worringly) they don't know what DPDT means! There is no description on their parts list so they can't tell me what it is. They could not even tell me your internal part number. Not fireing me with confidence.
      
      Its a nealy standard DPDT slide switch on a .245" lead pitch but with pins instead of tags. Unfortunatly the marking on the top is "TOY" which makes it impossible to google for a manufacturer. Can't anyone at Line6 tell me what the manufacturer's part number is? I'm getting close to investing elseware.
