Try putting some rubbing alcohol on a Q-Tip or Toilet paper and rubbing it on the contacts on the motherboard. Normally what happens is over time the conductive material on the back of the membrane rubs off on the contacts creating a barrier preventing the membrane from making contact. Try that and see if it works.
I have checked the diagram and these buttons along with R1 and R2 are paired up with a common pin and a resistor, I have the same problem and will try to figure out where is this resistor located and try to change it, will post if succed.
