2407WFPb Input Source Select switch is stuck

Question

My monitor is a Dell 2407WFPb   MX-0CC302-46634-68O-2KKS Rev A03 It failed the STFC.The input source select switch is not working properly.  The monitor is several years old and not under warranty.  I have never had any problems with it in the past.   Normally, only one of the five indicator lights is lit at a time.  Currently, the first light (VGA) remains lit all the time, and the input source select switch cycles a second light between 3 (S-Video), 4 (Composite), and 5 (Component).  The DVI-D source (light 2) that I normally use never lights up at all.  The monitor still works fine using the Component input source.   So basically it's fine as long as I only need to play XBox on it.  I cannot get it to switch back to my computer though. I'm guessing the the switchboard is faulty.  Is it possible to get replacement components like that?  It would be a shame to lose a perfectly good monitor due a switch malfunction.

* Power off the monitor* Disconnect the power cord from the monitor* While disconnected, press and hold the monitor power button down for 5 seconds* Reconnect the DVI cord to the monitor and to the PC video card* Reconnect the power cord to the monitor* Power on the monitor if it does not power on by itself* Power on the PC* Press the monitor Input Source Select button. If the button is still no go, your only option is to take it to a displays technician and disassemble it looking for the cause
