Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or do I have to wait for a new camera next year.
being that there is no warranty to go void you could always just solder the tabs on the switch together on the circuit board. This would eliminate the ability to turn it off but you could still just disconnect power other ways.

OR, you could order from an electronics supply place a new switch for a few bucks and solder it into place, better idea but more time consuming.
