update... I pushed the expandy bits that push through the pcb up and out a bit.. and everything is working fine??...
Guessing the stabilizer wire is too long or somehow making contact with the plate or PCB. Thick super lube works well on these...
I was going to suggest lube, which seemed somewhat obvious, but the OP hadn't mentioned trying it. (Also, being married, GH is the only place I get to suggest lube anymore.)
Anyway, glad you fixed it, sam0s. It's always good to have an account of a fixed problem here, too. If it happened to you, it can happen to other peeps. Who knows—it may happen to someone who hasn't even started typing yet, or someone who
hasn't been born. (I'm sure you'll agree: That last part was so dramatic, and so suggestive of our own mortality, there was no choice but to italicize it.) The Internet's been around long enough now that all kinds of young peeps are benefiting from advice that already existed as 0's and 1's back when their moms were brushing their teeth and got a little Gleem in their eyes. (Okay, I've also been waiting to use that particular gag.)
When a stab or anything else on a keeb refuses to work, and it doesn't respond to lubing or any other technical method including invectives [abusive or venomous language used to express blame or censure or bitter, deep-seated ill will], I suggest one of these classic white rubber mallets:
It's softer than a hammer, so you can apply just as much force as you need to a difficult board without smashing it completely (although that always remains an option). And the white rubber prevents marks when applying it to lighter colorways.
