Has anyone ever figured out where the problem actually is? I would suspect
cracks in the silver ink where the tails flex. This could be repairable by
painting on some more silver ink with a fine brush. If the problem is that
the switches themselves have collapsed, and are permanently shorted, then
they're probably unfixable.
