Introduction

In this repair guide, we will be replacing a push button. This will need to be replaced if a push button becomes unresponsive or is shorting. For this fix you will need a Philip #1 screwdriver and a small plastic tool to remove the ribbon cable and pry the plastic covering open. It is imperative to carefully remove the ribbon cable because it is connected to the circuit board that powers the system. This guide will be slightly challenging as one will need to both desolder and solder a mounted push button.
