Thanks for the info. I took her apart. I removed that
board and tried to push the wires back in. The ones to
the volume connector moved in more, but the connector
for the scene buttons are in metal teeth, and aren't
able to be pushed in. Besides, they look pretty good.
Still no luck. She's still open if anyone has any more
suggestions.
