Just noticed today that SL and SR doesn't work and the lights don't turn on. Other than that you can generally use itbit useless where those buttons arenare i.e. 2 player games.

I opened it up and if the cable is a little stretched, the lights turn on and only one button works but when I close it doesn't.

What could the problem be?

The ribbon cable spends too much time bent and warm, it's a common faulty. Replace the SR/SL ribbon, this part is less than £4.00 and an easy fix if you are confident with ribbon cables etc. Google SR/SL repair guide.
