All you need are screwdrivers? The most important part is left out! New buttons? Where, how?

And how do you replace it?! This just says how to take out old buttons!

So has anyone figured out how to replace the button?

The plastic part of the button is what broke in my daughter's Teddy Ruxpin. She had a similar toy with a button in its hand that she no longer played with, so I took the plastic button part out of the old toy and fit it onto Teddy Ruxpin. I used the same wires and threaded them through the plastic button, then resoldered the wires to the small board in the button. Works perfectly now.
