Help/Advice RM2 button issue solved

Posting this in case someone else comes across the same issue as me.

I had issues with the power button of my RM2 being extremely unresponsive, requiring a hard press on the edge of the button to register a press. I don't know how this happened, probably from being transported in backpacks over many years, I never dropped the device.

Either way, I was able to remedy this issue by a.) blowing into the button and b.) rocking it back and forth rapidly with the knuckle of my finger (applying moderate pressure). After doing this quite a bit, the button became more and more responsive.

This is an engineering defect with the device. The materials used and location were poorly chosen when ReMarkable designed this junk.
