Not my day, had lots of issues with equipment and now the plus button is stuck on my DX200 DNA200

Hello everyone, I have not been active for around about 4 years on forums and vaping due to mental health issues, that are now resolved with treatment. 

Due to this my collection of 45 mods was just left to sit where they were, also the same for my tanks and RDA's. 

Earlier I wanted to do some building, so tried an RDA, I couldn't get the top off it was stuck, so tried another, then another, all stuck from sitting there unused apart from 2. 

Then I decided to build a TC build for the Hotcig DX200 V2 DNA200, things were going great in single coil mode but I wanted to try dual coils so wrapped them, installed them on the RDA, then went to quickly glow them to make sure they was heating evenly. 

I pressed the right button to increase the power, and let go, and the power kept going up. 

I have pressed the button hundreds of times hoping it will pop back up, I have even tried a flathead screwdriver against the side to pry it but this isn't working. 

Is there anything else I can try before fully dismantling the mod to sort out the fire button, as that is a real last resort. 

Thank you all, Conan.

OK, I managed to fix this, another forum member advised me to try a small squirt of WD40. 

I used the little red plastic tube/straw that comes with it and applied a tiny spray to the buttons, pressed the button a few times and it is now not stuck. 

I cleaned off the WD40 thoroughly and the mod is working great with a dual coil Ti 01 build.

That might work for now, but you should really dismantle and wipe off the board with isopropyl alcohol. The buttons on the board are 3 piece buttons that are easily dismantled. The outer silver with the rubber pointy sticking out. The outer steel can be removed with a flat screwdriver, which exposes the rubber portion, below that is like a silver wafer. Below that wafer is the hard plastic portion soldered to the board.

Once you get escribe working, the bottom line in Device Monitor displays when a/if a button is pushed.
