Hard Buttons Cause Crazy Short

Does anyone else have this issue?
I dug up my old G1 to do a little testing, and it boots fine into good old CM5. Problem is, the hard buttons, keyboard included, when pressed, cause the backlighting on all the buttons to flicker. Every button except for End (Power) locks the phone.
What would be the first step toward fixing this, and is it even repairable?

So far, I have added Button Savior as a workaround, but I would really like to fix the short, if that's what it is, so that I can flash a new ROM.

Any ideas? Do I need to disassemble the casing? Everything works in recovery- still buggy, but workable. In Android the buttons are not even usable.

I think its the hardware, but try to flash this.

If the buttons doesnt work after all and you still wish to reanimate your G1, lock out for a square part or even better a used one,
to replace the button fields.
