My wife's Versa 2 had the same fault...button not stuck, moving, but having no effect. After trying all the suggested online cleaning fixes with no success, I went ahead and removed the screen using a razor blade to have a good look inside. The central operating pin of the left button had pierced the switch pad of the tiny circuit board behind. I could still make the switch work by levering on the pad edges. I managed to repair by cutting a thin rectangular metal shim (from the same blade used to open the watch) of correct width to drop in between the button pin and the switch pad. Button then worked once more as the shim spread out the contact area across the pad. I glued the screen back on with contact adhesive after removing all the old residue. An almost free fix, and should last some time.
