Default Inside Rearview Mirror issue

Hi Guys,
02 low mileage auto-dim mirror. Has power to it, orange flood lit. Map lights and auto-dim on/off inop. If I put pressure on the electrical connector into the mirror, both map light will light but switches have no effect. I am guessing there is a problem with the internal circuit board and doubt it is easy to get into mirror but am looking for suggestions on best way to repair this.

Okay, as it turns out it is a POS Gentex 227 mirror. Off to ebay to find a stock mirror I guess.
