Fooled by the flip-up screen?

I always worry when I read "I know I could get more..." - my first thought is "what's wrong with it?"
Also:

"It fired on its 1st turn of the button after the service and battery with fresh fuel".

First turn of the button?
Button's stuck 'on'. Turn the key and it starts immediately.
