I believe there's nothing wrong with using superglue or any other
adhesive since these are mostly non-conductant, just be sure that you
know what you're doing and be careful if you're going to use a splint
to keep the switch steady.

Michael's suggestion of jumping the switch so that it would permanently
stay on is good too. however if it were my monitor. I would try to get
a replacement switch for my monitor then solder it in like all good
guys do. If not, i would just make an arpeture either at the front or
the back of the monitor with a little hacking and create my own switch.






If it's a Sony made monitor you might be able to get the switch straight
from Sony. I replaced the bezel on my Trinitron after I cracked it on the
corner of the trunk lid getting it out of my car, that thing is heavy!

The OP is still having trouble posting to the group, but has contacted me
direct to ask me to post on his behalf, to thank all who helped. He has now
successfully repaired the switch.
