Hardware Help to fix my ZR Button

[Xen0]

Hey there, so it occurred that my ZR Button is somehow held permanently. I don't know how it happened, but I can't play any game with this problem. Do I have to open the pad to fix it? I took a pic of ZR and ZL for comparison, maybe someone can help me?

Try compressed air. If that doesn't work, then yeah, you're gonna have to open it.

Is it drop damage or sweat gunk?

If sweat: use non conductive foam cleaner, its amazing on ps3/360 pads with stuck buttons.

As I said I really don't know. But I guess the stuff you see about ZR is actually the trigger or something and that's why I can't push it.

I mean try blowing compressed air from a tank into the button.

Mmmmm...
When you pressed ZR, Do you listened like a CLICK! (like something is broken)
Last game played? Do you press everytime ZR? Like... Splatoon, or... Bayonetta?

My Brother played Smash 4 and pressed it to shield. Don't know if there was a "click" though.
Could it be that the actual button have to be over this triggerthingy? Maybe I can somehow try to pull it over it. Otherwise I probably will have to open it.
