Peter seems to have shorted the pins and fried something, which has had a different effect.
Yeah, that's my understanding too - many people have taped over those contacts with no benefit, so there must have been something else that happened. There's someone else around here who has reported this exact thing before as well, months ago - I would have sworn it was Peter Zack, but I think we can rule that out
