Switch/button Repair

[mystique]

Today the Right button on my daughters Wiz stopped working. I took it from her and heard something rattling around inside. I used my jewelers tools to open it up. The pushbutton switch had broken off of it's solder pads. I used a battery powered soldering iron to solder it back and also soldered an additional wire across the top of it and to the "support" pads of the metal housing. (Yes girls/women can fix things too). Has anyone else had this happen ? It's working fine again now. I also added a support wire to the left switch that wasn't yet broken.
