subject: broken ON switch

Hello All -

My monitor fell off of it's base in my daughter's trunk when
she shipped the monitor to me (140 mile trip) and I suspect
rolled on the screen back and forth over the ON/OFF switch.

Now it won't turn on. :-\ 

I took the case off and checked to see if the fuse was burned
out (somehow?) but it isn't. I'm guessing the front ON/OFF is
damaged. 

It's an HP about 5 years old with AFAIK a micro switch that
'signals' the power supply to turn ON/OFF. 

Any suggestions as to how I can test my theory and/or get the
monitor to turn on? 

fwiw: Doesn't have to be pretty as long as it works.
