Default DX-6i elv trim malfunction

Hi!
Were out flying my Viper/Nelson LS and all went fine until when I landed after the second flight I tried to use the elevator trim. Nothing happened?
(Spektrum DX-6i radio), tried again and nothing happened!
Went to the pits and tried again ...nothing. All the other trimlevers worked. Showed a fried what had happened and suddenly everything worked again.Then nothing...no response from the elevator trim lever.
Went home and took the radio apart ...second time this week as the roller drum axle broke 3 days ago.
Had a look at the trim lever which sat with 2 screw and decided to remove them to have a look. Under the plastic cap (trim lever) sat two push buttons...nothing happened when I pushed those. Used some 5-56 contact oil ...and lo and behold ...it worked again.

Wonder if Horizon will have many of these DX-6i radios in return???
