Help: EOSM Aperture/Exposure button

[garry23]

I've pulled my hair out all afternoon.

I have two EOSMs and one, all of a sudden, exhibited a strange behavior: the Aperture/Exposure button stopped functioning, ie I could not use it as a right toggle in menus (ML or Canon) and could not toggle between aperture and shutter.

I've tried different lens: no difference.

I've removed ML, via firmware reset: no difference.

Has anyone else had a similar problem and fixed it!

Cheers

Looks like HW issue. Mine sometimes skips pushes. Works one time on every second or third push. Sometimes ok.

That's what I'm fearing is wrong.

whole back panel with buttons can be replaced, but it's quite expensive, something like quarter of this camera budget:

other option is this:
