Take that circuit board to an electronics store. A REAL electronics store. The local one around my home town is called L and N electronics. I know that may not be much help, but I've learned by changing board components, that not all parts have multiple applications. I've repaired my own studio/stage speakers and amps, and those diodes and resistors/capacitors are stereo components specifically made for that application. I normally would have to replace 2-5 different components in that circuit also, not just the 1 obvious damaged part. Not sure where you are, so it's hard to point you in the right direction.

Where may I find a service place to replace a switch ?
