I'm on the edge of my seat too!lol I'll check a little bit later. Hope it works, being a leftie. If it doesn't would taking the tape off and putting glue directly on the switch help. Remember reading something about this problem but can't remember where and what they did. Thanks again for all the help!

Checked and you have to push down real hard on the left button to work. Tried more glue and see if that helps.

so far no luck, unless I want to mash down on the left button. Bummer fur sure dude!

Did you use an eraser on the square part under the dome switch to clean it?

[thegamezmaster]

Do you mean lift the plastic piece up that's covering it and clean? Thanks!

Lift the tape and the silver dome. It's what is under the silver dome that you want to clean with an eraser. Then put silver dome and tape back on and it should work like new.

Will try later and post results, thanks!

Oh an update, there were 3 things wrong. One the tape was covering the contact. 2 the silver electric contact button was oriented 180 degrees wrong, and 3 the contact was dirty, so I isopropylholed the contact, got more scotch tape, and made the silver disc oriented the same way is he right hand side. One, Two or all 3 of those things fixed the problem. I just played, "How is the left button not like the right button?".
