Yamaha Psr 36 Brilliance Slider Not Working Properly

I have Yamaha PSR 36 keyboard and Brilliance slider(5position switch) works only in 1st and 5th position. For positions 2,3,4 there is no change in sound.I need an advise how to fix it. Is it only matter of non contacting contacts of this switch or might be more serious damage. Spraying liquid contact or alcohol inside the switch didn't help.Can you give me some advice?Warm regards from Poland - Piotr Szeliga
