It might

#

If the buttons work but stick down, yes

The buttons are just cemented and don’t have any functionality

Yeah sounds like some gunk got spilled or something and needs to get cleaned out, isopropyl should work for that

Welp, I managed to get the button covers off and this issue appears to run much deeper
The buttons just won’t press
They aren’t at all tactile and you can’t feel them press like the home button does

Oh

#

... Yeah they might just be broken

#

That’s a huge bummer

#

I paid $150 for this and now I can’t even properly use it

#

Yeah

However the select button wasn’t listed as being dysfunctional so I might be able to get a refund
