Take it apart by scoring along the edges with a single edge razor. Pry open
with small screwdriver - be forcefiul. Inside you'll find an easily replaced
(any decent electronics supply store) microswitch (idle) and an easily
cleaned leaf switch (WOT). Total repair cost - 5.00 incl glue - 25.00 if you
have to buy a soldering gun...
