I tried your method... I found nothing under the silver cap.

I instead took the besel off and found the button to fix

Then found some double stick tape about the thickness of a toothpick. I cut a square out of it (aprox 1/8th of a inch square) just use sissors to cut it.

Then I pealed one side off and applied it over the button.

I then re-assembled the remote. Follow those directions above for disassembly and assembly just to the point where you get the bezel is off.

And your done....

This is nonsence to have to do... But it is better than throwing it out... I mean other than these issues, I have to say this is the best remote I have ever owned.

Good Luck Guys!!! I hope people can benifit from this easy project.

I have pics available if you email me.
