Thanks for that.

So was your original switch through hole?

Yes (if you’re referring to its PCB fixing).

Yes, I was, as I saw a repair video that looked like it had a surface
mounted switch.

Easy to replace.

Cool, nothing more rewarding than an excuse to use the powered
desoldering station: ;-)

OK, for many many years I used the mechanical sucker type and / or
braid but the mechanical pump is much more gentle on the PCB and
something that I wish I'd got sooner (although I got mine s/h / not
working and fixed it). ;-)
