alright, i was playing, and all of the sudden, the plectrum started randomly hitting. I took the guitar apart and found that the problem lies either in the wiring between the circuit board and the plectrum or inside the actual clicky devise that sends the signal. could you help me fix this problem on my own?

x-plorer guitar is crap because the ribbon cable inside from fret buttons down to motherboard is pinched between the 2 layers of plastic handle, which is sharp and wears out and slices thru the wires eventually. You need to open it up and shave off some plastic from the 2 handles where the wire goes thru to give it more room and maybe a piece of electricle tape around it to reduce any wearing from rattle.
Goodluck and don’t be hosed like me! I need a new ribbon!
I am going to use my desodering gun and remove old ribbon and then i am going to use an old 30 inch ide cable ripped down to 5 strands and replace it!
So mad..
