I've had more than one micro:bit board button fail when the solder joint broke loose.
It also looks like only the bottom leg is connected electrically so if that one comes loose you've got no button.
(Well, you can press it *really* hard to force it to make contact.)
Easy to fix with a dab of solder for those who can solder but still a bit annoying.
