Commander Station - Home button issue
- Thread starter Lbear
- Start date
Assuming nothing has been spilled, try a very small flat head screwdriver with like a fiber cloth wrapped around it and dry to nudge it up ever so slightly? That's just my first thought. I will look at mine in a little see if something like that would even be possible. If you're under warranty though, I would just take it in and not even mess with it.
I have the exact same problem with my wife's '16. Except the HOME button no longer works, it is permanently depressed. The display now always defaults to the Home screen. Luckily the other 2 buttons still work and over-ride the HOME button, so we can still use the radio and Nav.
I doubt the button can be pushed back up with a screwdriver. It appears to be a mechanical failure of the switch that will require a warranty replacement.
The warranty certainly should cover this. It is clearly a defective part. And it sounds like others are having similar problems. There is another thread about a stuck Audio button.
Well, the latest update:
I took a folded sheet of paper and an it between the button and the housing. The button popped back up and so far so good.
Not sure what happened there. Maybe some dirt or expansion?
Will see if it happens again but a folded sheet of paper and a quick floss between the button and all is well.

I was also able to fix my stuck button by prying it up. I used a small flat blade plastic tool made for removing interior trim. But the first time I pressed the button it got stuck down again. I had to repeat the prying up, pressing down procedure multiple times before it worked correctly. Hopefully it will continue to work now.
