Perhaps your application of WD40 didn't help very much? I'd be tempted to try cleaning again to make sure all residue of WD is got rid of.

I agree!
One thing which has not been metnioned and I've never seen suggested as a cause of these problems, it the buttons pads themselves. For information - the black bit of plastic under each button is supposed to be sufficiently conductive to short across the contacts on the PCB. Oil/ dust/ WD 40 on those would be enough to stop the buttons working, so worth taking the time to clean those too.
Wear on those same types of buttons is a common cause of TV remote controls failing.
