    • The button is very difficult to replace by disassembly. The seller recommends to pull out the button slightly with your fingers and slide a screwdriver around the seam. I found this didnt work for me

    • The old button is clipped around the housing with three clips. Cutting the centre of the button out allows easier access to the clips from the inside

    • Be careful with the cutters to not go too deep and damage the inner circuitry of the button, try to cut parallel to the front of the button

    • The green ring represents the remains of the old button and the red ring represents the button housing which the button is clipped to

    • Carefully insert the pointed end of a metal spudger into the gap between the button and the button housing and rotate to seperate the clips from the housing

    • Then pull back on the button remains as you unclip the clips

    • The clips are located at 12 oclock , 4 oclock and 8 oclock

    • Insert the new button with the notch at 6 oclock. It should line up with a tab inside the button ring

    • Push the button in firmly once lined up. It should not take too much force.

    • Done!

Thanks! I found numerous YouTube guides on how to disassemble the whole unit, but will definitely try this method first. If it doesn't work I can always still go the disassembly route as a backup approach.

Supergemakkelijk zelf te doen als je ietswat handig bent. Je hebt enkel een dunne punt tang en klein schroevendraaiertje nodig. Duurde welgeteld 2 min. TOP!

I thought the disassembly option was going to be the only way .

But used this method and it took me 2 mins to replace.

So it's a big yes from me
