[Elecraft] KX3 Issues

I was working the in the NE QSO Party and found that 3 buttons 
on my KX3 stopped working. I get no response from the MSG, PRE, 
and ATTN keys when I either press or hold them. I know the MSG 
and PRE keys were working earlier today when I set up a voice 
message to send my call sign.

I haven't opened the case or anything similar. The buttons still 
fail when I disconnect all the external cables and run the radio 
on the internal batteries. I've only been pushing buttons and 
controlling the radio from my Mac.

I do have some issues also on the PX3, but I don't think they 
are related. (Saved for another email.)

Any ideas of what I should look at? (I'm in NH and don't have a 
full set of tools. Just a multimeter and some small screwdrivers etc.)
