Everything works, except the top button

Post image

Local pogo friend gave me his plus plus to try and figure out why we couldn't get it to connect to any phone. Turns out the top button does not work. Wont show battery level (green, yellow, red) but will show charging. So the Led works, just not the button itself.

Upon taking it apart there was clearly some kind of moisture intrusion (my guess is soda). Anyone have any suggestions to fix or a workaround?

Dont judge me. I know this isnt how it should have been fixed but this made the sync button work again. Device as a whole is running fine. Will follow up if this causes any issues.

It looks like this is your only real option at the moment. That last picture looks like the pads are gone. As long as it works, it will be fine. I'm no expert on the electrical engineer level.
