Not common, but if you look closely, you will see where the wire of the segment is overlapping the other. You can smack it around to try to dislodge it, but at the risk of damage or breaking.
Over time, I've had 10 units with similar issues. I've been able to restore 8, but on 2 of them (1 I recently bought on ebay), I've separated them, but in doing so, one of the two segments would no longer light up as if the contact was bad from the start or disconnected during my smack around test. Take a close up picture of the segments where they come close to each other. I have a couple I could upload before and after if interested.
