Same problem here. One switch didn't work and battery drained.

Couldn't find a problem on the back side (my magnification glass is only 10x), but reflowed it. On the front the conductor track near to the switch that didn't worked was damaged. Repaired it with a small wire.

Baking electronic components in an oven to "reflow" isn't a good idea.
