I had a similar problem, but it was occuring more frequently, you can
test by pulling the switch out and hooking it up to a multi guage with
an ohm meter, when the switch is on resistance should go from full to
zero (one end of the scale to the other, I am not an electrician.) Or
pull the switch and wire it to a simple voltage tester or light, and
see if it works when you turn it on, using the switch to interupt the
loop to power from a battery to a flashlight for instance. If it only
fails one in twenty times you may need to flick it a lot before it
doesn't work.
At least on the BN1s the switch does not look to be rebuildable or
repairable, I blew some WD40 in it and it has worked fine ever since.
Thanks in advance to all of those who will tell me that WD40 is a water
displacement chemical and not a lubricant or conductivity improver, but
that is what worked for me, I think more from the effect of flushing
the thing out with a solvent than anything else.
