Is anyone else experiencing the button getting stuck?

Yes, mine is getting stuck, too. I am hoping a replacement will solve this problem.

Has anyone experienced or seen an issue where the trigger button acts with the same functionality as the home button. Every time I press the right trigger it exits to home or exits the game.....help please

Daniel - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

I followed this guide on my 3G vita in order to replace the right trigger cable. I found it wasn't necessary to remove the wireless card if anyone else finds that part tricky.
