Well the button is on the bottom haha, so it's hard to smash I suppose. I honestly can't remember but if I had to take a stab at it I'd say yes, the button is hard to depress when it is having the issue but when it's working properly it's not a problem.

Can anyone tell me where that ground in the quote I posted is so I can take a look and see what I've got? Just trying to be prepared before I head down to her place.
