Several years ago when I googled, there were quite a few links on troubleshooting Shimano Flight Deck. When I check now, the troubleshooting articles don’t seem to be there any more.

I’m not quite ready to abandon Flight Deck but I’m getting close. I have peeled back my brake hoods, & removed the cover plate with the 2 little screws. I have swabbed the contacts with contact cleaner. I have checked to see if the little grey button mounted in the plate is functional & briefly played around with placing little index card shims behind the contacts to no avail.

No one in my bike club could care less about Flight Deck and my bike shop doesn’t have time for it either.

Could somebody here steer me to some proper Flight Deck troubleshooting?
This users manual (pdf attached) might help if you don't already have it.
