OK, I see now. On my D-pad there are metal disks covered with metal caps (no sign of rubber), and all 5 metal caps are held on the D-pad with a transparent square of sticky tape (photo). It looks like one contact of the button is the inside region, the second is the outer region, and the circuit is closed by the metal cap pressing down and bridging the inner and outer regions. I removed all metal caps, to prevent all the D-pad buttons from closing their respective circuits, but the device still won't boot.
So at this point the only abnormal button is the one I pointed, which has a closed circuit whether I press the button or not. So that must be the button that's stuck in the "ON" state. How do I take this button apart?
