Recently one of the buttons on my i300 has become stuck and I haven't been able to unstick it. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and/or has ideas for solving.

The button in question is the side button that turns down the ringer or the talk volume. The button doesn't feel stuck. It still depresses when I push it, but it acts as if it is continually pressed. I had noticed earlier that my ringer would be turned down lower than usual, but i thought perhaps I had bumped it at some point.

I have read the elsewhere on this forum about how to open the case, but I wanted to see if there were any other ideas before I tried that. I have already done a hard reset, but that had no effect.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
