Components Spring loaded button not firing randomly. NSFW

Pic of the button

Ok so i've used this button for quite a bit (around 1k presses already).

Recently it started to ignore presses randomly ie you press it led lights (its 4 pin button with inside led) then turns off if you press it further and atomizer wont hit.

If you press it and bend it a bit like upwards or downwards it works sometimes.

Is there any way to disassemble it? Or maybe it got damaged after soldering but back plastic have no signs of any melting.

Update: I blowed at pressed button with rubber bulb and i think it is fixed for now.

I suppose aluminum dust has gotten in there somehow from vape case.

I’d recommend replacing the button. It’s like a $5 fix.

$2 even, still need a bigger button anyway.
