to randomtoad and stefan:
I knew there were magnets on the bottom to hold the two pieces together, but i didn't realize they were strong enough to pull through to the other side. I just looked at the location of them and realized that's probably what it's been the whole time.
Have you tried just jumping the switch to see if it's just the mechanics of the switch going bad? Those switches are generally easy to replace, don't require great soldering skills, and are pretty cheap.
Edit: Before randomly jumping the switch(es), I'd suggest using a multimeter to test which sides actually short together when the switch is pressed. If you just do a continuity test and you hear it not making good connection, that alone will tell you it's prob. the switch.
