i once had a ipod mini that got run over, it still worked fine, but was stuck in the lock position. grab a pin, and do your best to slide the switch. once you slide it, the player should operate normally again. another thing you could do is unsolder the broken switch and use some wire to connect the solder pads for when the switch is in the "off position", or when its "unlocked". it will be forever unlck, but you did say you could live with it.
