I unscrewed the top left screw and scraped the copper contact circle as clean as I could with my little screwdriver and even added some aluminum foil as suggested above. Still nothing.

Any other ideas? My fan screw is starting to strip from me tightening it so much. If there are other ideas, please send them!

Sorry pal, my glee was a bit premature!
