Can you buy a new casing on Ebay and replace the existing parts?

Take a close look at the connections inside. Button connections mainly - the connections made by the buttons. They can be bent by hamfistedness (not you, obviously...).

If so, re-align *very* gently.

Contacts might just need to be cleaned - again, gently does it.

It's great if you have a working unit for comparison purposes. Just be sure to do nothing to that unit!

Think tooth pick rather than Q-tip.

cheers, I have cleaned the contacts a while back and while it looks fine and clean it's something else I think, thanks
