Well, it's kinda too late... It's arriving on the 12th so I'll try to see what's going on.
Do not buy that Switch. It was probably blown up by a cheap charger and it could have taken out 1-3 major components that you will have to source and replace without even knowing if that will fix it.
I'm seeing crazy numbers of switches for sale right now in facebook market and local 'yard sale' pages. Check there first

Why yes, I do have a multimeter, and I know how to use it. I can replace parts without soldering experience though. Does 25,000 5 star ratings on amazon count as research?You have some things to figure out before you attemp this.
1: research the soldering iron you are going to buy. Just because it has a LCD screen dosent mean it is good.
My Ersa Analog 60 still kicks my other soldering irons ass.
2: you are not going to fix a switch sold as parts without any soldering/electronic experince.
Do you even have a multimeter?
3: as above, if you never did some soldering, then soldering without scope is a no go.
With lots of experince and lots of hours soldering, no problem. But for a beginner, no.
4: Yes, flux matters. It is the same as a good quality iron and quality solder. Cheap out on one of the 3 and you could have problems.
