You can always take the top cover off and check your connections to the board.
It is mint - meaning it's new and on warranty (then forget the above and send it to the retailer) or is it just excellent condition but second hand ? Quite a difference.

If it's not the connections it could be gummed up. If that's the case just take a qtip and LIGHTLY dampen the tip and clean the contact switch(The red button under the cursor plastic cover).If that doesn't work(didn't for me,but it has for others) you need to replace the contact switch which requires some mild soldiering. You can pick up the switches by emailing vst or at mpc-stuff for like $5 or less.
