Default touch sensitive lamp

I have a floor standing lamp which has a touch sensitive switch. If you touch the lamp housing or upper part of the stem the lamp toggles through 2 or 3 brightness levels and on/off. It hasn't been used for some time but when I tried it the other day it is not working, i.e. it won't switch on. I've changed the bulb but still no joy. Any ideas what the problem is, and if it is repairable? TIA

Thanks everybody, looks like my best bet is to bypass whatever "internal controller" there is and fit an in-line conventional switch in the lead. For what it's worth here's a link to the make/model
