Please help! Dreamcast lightgun

[sx9]

Does anyone know how to fix a dreamcast lightgun trigger? :?
I recently purchased lightgun from ebay which was supposed to be new but when i received it, every button worked except for the trigger.
How can I fix this? If anyone can help me please...I would much appreciate it.

Is it one of those Starfire jobbies? Cheap Junk. Tiny momentary microswitch for a trigger switch. You can solder out the microswitch and solder in another.

I made it an OSG policy to cease all service on third party devices like that. Such jink, and so time consuming to fix. =/

What is this microswitch? is it like a fuse? I haven't opened up the gun yet.

It's a tiny pushbutton, soldered to a flimsy circuit board.
