MK3 PushButton failed

The pushbutton (PB) on my 1 yr old MK3 has become very flakey.  The rotary portion works fine, but the PB has almost quit triggering anything.  It make 10 pushes to make it activate the menu selection.

The clicking sound is there, so I am wondering if the problem is in the mechanical switch, or if there is anything in the software that can cause this problem.  If it is the switch, I presume a simple replacement will do the trick.

I would contact Prusa Support to see if they can send you a replacement if your printer is still under warranty.

You could also check the four screws securing the board to the housing. If they have loosened that can cause the pb to lose some travel.

Turns out to be the software.  After turning the unit on and off several times, it began to function normally.
