Just tried mine and it works. Try the DEMIST button on the top right, that puts the fan on max and I think also turns the Aircon on as well to assist in clearing the screen
when the Max button is operated does it turn the switch light on, but doesnt turn on the fan ? or is it totaly dead ?
You can teese the buttons out witha sharpe impliment if needed and try swapping the MAX button with another to see if its the facia button that has broken. If so I know a member who has a spare button for sale. be gentle with the buttons, they have a small pip at the bottom that stops them falling out.

Correction!!!!not working again,previously when it worked both Green A/C lights came on and Max boost worked ,now no Green lights only when I Press the buttons,I have Max boost with the heated/windscreen button and my heating works fine inc the fan to boost it.I can hear A/C fan turning slowly and quiet when I press the A/C button that's all.
To me it maybe the Final stage resister?????
