Is the hardware switch really just a software switch?

You may consider disassembling the device to check for the following. If you are not comfortable with the following procedure, I suggest that you send in the device for repair. What is the ticket number that the GitLab Support Bot created? I can look into this for you.

  1. Disassemble the device to view switch and switch cap condition
  2. Are the switch caps damaged, stuck, or sheared off from the switches?
    • YES: Replace the switch caps and/or switches (contact support)
    • NO: Continue to next step
  3. Check if the switch itself (SW3) is not properly soldered, or if R626 or D24 have cold solder joints
  4. Is there visible damage or poor electrical connection?
    • YES: Repair or replace the damaged components; continue to next step
    • NO: ???
  5. Reassemble the device
