I did not mean to insinuate that you were new at "fixing stuff. Sorry if it came across as such. I would try the old click wheel to see if that makes a difference. Also, try to assemble your iPod without the center button. Depress the switch manually by using a pencil with the eraser side pushing the switch. Try this with the old and the new click wheel. That way you will know if it is the click wheel, or the logic board. The other thing you can do is measure the switch itself. Attach the leads from your multimeter to the bottom two contacts, you should see that the switch does have some resistance, and total continuity when depressed. Hope this helps, good luck
