reprogramme it? or maybe the rubber contacts under the buttons Rich?

Theres a conductive coating on them that wears off, a blob of conductive paint or a tiny bit of silver paper glued onto it may work.

You also get black crud off the buttons onto the gold contacts on the board, best wiped off with a squirt of switch cleaner onto a clean hanky ;D

Bad battery contact? There's also a little tiny spring contact off to one side, that has to mate properly with a pad on the board as well.
