Light switch repair

The inconvenience in main operating light switch used for 24 years every day has overcome today, it puts off unintentionally and on and off actions recovers for a period of time. The lack of current supply must be caused by one of burned terminal in the toggle switch, so I prepared new replacement parts from stock box. But, deeper consideration led me a conclusion that the burnt terminal should be a moving one and the three terminal construction remains another virgin contacting point, then changing wiring must recover some enough current supply like new switch parts!  My imagination was to the point and repairing procedure has finished safe without replacing switch parts by just changing terminals to opposite side, good solution did I?
