If it were mine and it did not have the pinholes I might consider drilling a tiny hole BY HAND (tiny drill bit between thumb and forefinger or held in a pin vice) over the centre point of the offending button and introduce the DEOXIT that way.

Thanks, Geoff - I think this is the way to go; it just "feels" like a mechanical/corrosion problem to me, from the way that jiggling the key or pressing it from different corners seems to affect the number it actually enters. I'll order a tube of DEOXIT Gold this morning.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that! There's a special place in you-know-where reserved for the evil genius who invented heat stakes.
