Here's what I came up with: a very thin slice of electrical tape rolled into a cylinder. It fits snuggly in the A button hole and should provide some resistance for repeated button presses (I hope)
Now, let's get this thing put back together and see if there's been any improvement!
Here is the final result. The button sags to one side in a barely noticeable way, not a huge deal. More importantly, it now feels just the right amount of clicky in comparison with the other buttons. I am reasonably satisfied with how this turned out!
Overall, the disassembly and reassembly process went more smoothly than what I originally pictured. If this issue were to pop up again in the future, it's not that difficult or time consuming to get back to the internals. Case closed!
@[email protected] nice work.
@[email protected] Thank ya. If other people run into the same issue, hope this will be somewhat helpful!
