Guitar Hero III for Wii - problems with the orange fret

My girlfriend picked up guitar hero III, now that we've moved to the hard stage we've noticed a design problem. The orange fret button on the detachable guitar neck (for Nintendo Wii) does not work. If you work on the guitar neck a lot the orange button works, but cuts out 90% of the time. There might be a bad connection between the body and detachable neck, http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifor where the controller plugs into the wii-remote.

Hopefully Activision covers this in their warranty. Besides the orange fret button, the mono sound, and the lack of online songs, its a great game.

Here's a fix that might work: http://www.grownupgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=120141#post120141
