I haven't had to replace this button, but I had a very similar problem 20 some years ago putting an aftermarket stereo into my 3g eclipse. I dropped one of the screws that hold in the head unit in the car. I looked and looked, and for the life of me I couldn't find it, so I buttoned her up without it. Fast forward a year to the next summer, I'm back home visiting my parents out on their boat and I look down at the split gap in my cheap target sandals where the sole had been separating for at least a year (I was pretty cheap back then, haha). There was something shiny in there, and it was that screw I lost the prior summer! I must have been wearing those sandals when I installed the head unit, and when the screw fell, it fell into the gap in my sandals where it stayed for a year.

Moral of the story, check your shoes and folds in your clothes, maybe even your laundry!
