Hi,

Did you say that it had been dropped?

Try opening it and see if anything has become dislodged from the systemboard. Do this with the power off and disconnected of course.

You may have a faulty wireless switch. Use an Ohmmeter to prove whether the switch is working properly. It may be only making intermittent contact or perhaps, due to the fall (if it did drop), it is not connected to the board properly.

Hi, Glad that you found it.

If you never used it perhaps the contacts become high resistance just due to not having current flow through them. Even a small amount of current will keep the contacts 'low resistance', it's called 'contact wetting'. Here is a link if you are interested.
