not saying you aren't correct, but it's worth trying to clean. It is very common for one button, or an area to fail, possibly because of a spill. a pcb trace failure is possible, but it should be visible under a magnifier. Also when using a multimeter for checking traces, realize there may be a conformal coating over them (but not the button landing pads). You need to use sharp meter probes to pierce the coating to test. You could try hunk of something conductive (like copper solder wick) and press onto the button in question spot to see if the ir functions trigger. This might indicate a problem with the carbon on the bottom of the silicone. Again, I could rummage around and fine one, maybe two...who knows, I have all sorts of parts :) Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115905 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
