well i had the same problem, except it wouldt melt, just get hot. I popped open the cover on the new switch i got, loosened the screw on the circuit board, blew at it with both my lungs and some compressed air, and it just magically fixed it self. I was intending to completely take off the screws on the circuit board, but I didnt, and it work just fine how it is now. (screws a little loose) maybe the screw were ****** something up? i dunno, alls i know is it works.

well get the switch, and face it upwards with the **** pointing up. you will see a plastic cover with holes for ventilation, pop it off with a screw driver, now you can see the circuit board. and there will be the 3 screws.
