Well, that's mine fucked now anyway....
In the name of science I took mine out and lifted the contact gently, it's very thin...... like very very thin.
Got it to the horizontal position as described, which only took a very gentle lift.
Put my haster mini back on top, took it off and it was squashed right back down again...
Took it out again, lifted it up gently .... ping, snapped off.
conclusion, lifting it up and down with metal that thin isn't going to work, I should have just left it squashed down and it probably would have been fine.
@cthulhumod If you are going to do it like this, and recommend people keep lifting it up, it needs to be thicker metal or a different design, I'm sorry to report that I don't think this is good enough.
I can see people breaking so many of these it's going to be a nightmare for you and your customers.
I think you need to start working on a V.1.1 board with something different there asap.
