somerspoint,
If I’m understanding you correctly, I think you’re spot on with your diagnosis. By manually holding the door switch down you the unit will start. Will the unit call for water on its own while you are manipulating the door switch with the screwdriver? By pouring the water in yourself, you are bypassing the inlet valve. My only concern would be that the inlet valve could be the/part of the problem.
If the unit goes further into the cycle while pressing the switch down, I would definitely agree that the door switch/latch/actuator are definitely damaged in some capacity.
If you could try to depress the door switch and attempt to allow the dishwasher to fill in its own, I would feel more confident that the latch/switch/actuator is your only area of concern.
I hope this helps
