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. Regards, Bob S.
