The click wheel is popping out?

I have the green 5th generation iPod Nano and today I have realized that the click wheel is popping out from the "Back" and "Next" buttons, and on the "Menu" button, the click wheel is sinking in and its giving me a hard time to press the "Menu" button, but I can press any of the other buttons. All the functions work just fine except when I attempt to press the "Menu" button (the scrolling and the volume control also works just fine). How do I fix it to the way it was?n

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Strange, I think your best way to find a solution would be to get in there and see if there is some crud blocking the wheel, or maybe a broken bracket. Follow this guide to remove the click wheel.

If you end up needing a replacement click wheel, we are currently out of stock but you can check back another day or try your luck on eBay.

Alex check this answer given by fun4us "it seems that there is some design flaw on the the new curved casing on the 4th gen. i've been reading thru different posts and this seems to be a recurring problem and needs to be addressed by apple. the board/clickwheel after a lot of use loosens up and creating some form of unstable contact, a solution i found is by adding a firm backing to it. i did this by inserting a piece of thin plastic (thin old credit card would do) between the board and the aluminum casing on the bottom end of the iPod. tried this with 2 of my iPods and it worked. of course you need to take the bottom plastic cover and the aluminum connector support with the 2 screws first" Why has my iPod click wheel stopped working? Since your click wheel still functions I assume that this is caused by the above described issues. Put a backing on it to support the clickwheel. Good luck and let us know if it works.
