My on/off switch no longer works on my DD3, anyone try replacing the switch in one of these and where would you get a replacement?

It's a funky soft switch with something like 6 or 8 contacts. I think it might even be part of the board (but I could have that wrong).
I suggest contacting Boss, but be prepared to just get another.

Did mine with no problem. Antique Electrical supply or Small bear electrical supply both carry the switch.
Here's antique electrical supply and the switch page.

I have modded several of the Boss pedals, and I find it easier to remove the switch and the board from the pedal. I release the switch into the battery cavity area, and then disassemble it to allow the connected wiring to fit through the hole. I suspect you may need to do the same to install a replacement.
