Do you need to switch it off?
I've left mine on for months/years with no ill effects.
The display times out... The batteries survive.

If I remember right, the lock mechanism is pretty simple.
It's a spring and a ball bearing in below the gray button.
If you take the switch off, you can see it and fix it.
But you might need a special tool to unscrew the nut around the shutter release.
