A way to fix buttons not registering

Dunno where this belongs (in hardware or here) But the past few days my red button hasn't always been registering.

So I get real stressed and my dad takes a look. He takes off the neck and looks at the green contact things on the neck part of the guitar.

He is stumped but gets an idea. He tried cleaning the contacts on the neck, which you can do with contact cleaner or whatever gets the job done.

Since he did that it has been working perfectly.

I dunno if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me (so far).

I have problems with my yellow button doing the same thing. I might try this.

Interesting, but this goes in the Hardware forum.
(this forum has no video game discussion of any kind)

EDIT: oh nevermind about that, I thought I was in General Chat

Yes, this belongs in the Hardware Forum, and...

Do you have an SG, X-Plorer, or Les Paul?

If it is an SG/X-Plorer, than the Hardware Forum should have a quick fix for that. If it is a Les Paul, I would bet that the problem is the retarded detachable neck, but that's just me

My buttons stop working from time to time. I have a rubber band holding the neck on extremely tight, but it still does it. I'm going to have to try this.
