Problem: iDrive controller won't respond to press
My controller gradually stopped from responding to the "PRESS" command. Everything else works fine. I suspect a contact problem maybe???? Should I try to fix this myself and how hard is it to DIY or is this a dealer fix? No more warranty BTW. Thanks

It may have just come a little loose. Mine popped right off when I pulling too hard to the side one time. I just pushed it back on hard and it's been fine since then.
Just pull it straight up to remove it. |

Happened to me once. Did you try rebooting iDrive? That fixed it for me.
(Push and hold both eject buttons and the volume knob at the same time.)

Then I realized that you meant the DVD and CD eject buttons and the volume knob (or mute button). |

Pulled out the knob. Couldn't do much from what I saw so I put the knob back and gave it a pretty heavy strike to pop it back in....IT NOW WORKS!!!!!

Well that didn't last for long...It's now officially dead.
Good thing is I now know how to replace the whole module (controller). A few easy steps to get access to the module and swap. The real challenge will be to find an affordable controller. I don't want to end up spending the 200$-plus I saw so far on e-bay. I'll call the dealer tomorrow but I doubt it'll be cheaper than that.....

Mine is doing the same thing. My tech pulled the plate and cleaned some contacts. I'll update when I get it back from him.
