I guess the first thing to try, if it's that easy to remove, is to see if there's anyone near you who's prepared to let you remove theirs and try swapping them over (temporarily) as a test?
I'd also look at it very carefully to see if there's an obvious way to dismantle to look at the switches.
Items like that will probably have some complex onboard electronics that interpret the buttons/dials and then send digital signals down the connector.
Switches usually have some sort of spring/return/contact mechanism behind them which may be something as simple as a bit of moulded silicone rubber. If this is damaged or dislodged it can stop it working even if the actual microswitch is OK.
