K4's right forward page turn button not working

On my Kindle 4, the right forward page turn button suddenly stopped working. Before it stopped working completely, I could restart it and it would work for awhile and then stop again. Now nothing makes it work. The other side is still fine, but since I am right handed it's a bit inconveniently placed for me. I was hoping someone here might have a solution to the problem.

Try a factory reset and see if that fixes it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I have tried it, and it did nothing.

Then it's time to call Kindle Support for a replacement.

There could be some dirt under it, have you tried pushing hard? This was an issue with my previous kindle dx.

I tried that, but unfortunately it's out of warranty. They offered me a refurbished Kindle Touch at a discount, but it would've been cheaper just to buy a new Kindle 4.

It worked! I pressed on it really hard, and blew air into the gap between the button and body of the Kindle and it's working fine now.

Have some karma.
