I then took apart the Kobo (number of videos available on how to do that) and put a drop of glue using glue-gun on each of the navigation buttons on the IC board; and re-assembled the reader back again. Its working fine for now.
But I think I'll need to do something similar for the power button too since its begun cracking.
To be honest, I think it's time to get a new Kobo.
