Threshold T-200 power switch help

I have a Threshold T-200 amp which was sent to the factory to do the Stasis 7 upgrade. I have it hooked up to a pair of Wilson Watt Puppy 7s . The power switch has always been very difficult to flip and I actually have to use a certain angle from the bottom of the front of the amp chassis to gain the leverage to get it to flip on. A few months ago I was flipping it on and once the amp powered on, I heard a pop through the speakers and then hum. I immediately powered down the amp and thankfully there was no damage to my speakers.

I was going to have someone look at it before re-inserting the amp back into the system. I decided to put it back in, but using my cheap-o test speakers. The amp powered on and there was no pop or humming. The amp operates fine. Just wondering if this was an anomaly, and is there any alternatives to perhaps installing a less resistive power switch.

I am over in the Sacramento area and near Jon Soderberg but not sure if he is still taking in repairs.

Thanks
