@[email protected] Any idea why that particular button shaft was getting stuck in the membrane?
Was there a build up of dirt or something that was causing it to lodge in there?
Hopefully your electrical tape solution will work. It seems like it should but my mind immediately jumped to thoughts of how old electrical tape gets all gooey and sticky. I shuddered a bit. 😂
@[email protected] I tend to mash the A button when playing Pokémon, it seems like that has to be what did it. I have not played very many four button games on this device to begin with, so it must have been the repeated use. The B button also left a mark on the membrane, but not nearly as noticeable.
And yeah I tried to keep the sticky part of the tape rolled inward to not touch any components. If it's an issue later on, not super hard to get back in there
