You probably don't need to rearrange your lighting load. Just replace the switch with a new one. <><><> Wall switches are mechanical devices that do break. Sometimes it is a manufacture defect, it could be from user abuse or normal wear and tear. All light switches will eventually mechanically fail. ----

If you do not understand the work well enough to accomplish it yourself properly and safely, don't try it. Consult a professional electrician, as they are proficient enough to do it properly and safely. When working on electrical circuits and equipment, make sure to de-energize the circuit you will be working on. Then test the circuit with a definitive means to make sure it is off (multimeter with metal tipped leads, voltage tester with metal tipped leads, etc., not a non-contact tester, which is non-definitive.)
