The buttons were annoying me! So I researched and discovered that you don't need to replace them with troublesome de-soldering work. You simply clean them with isoprophyl alcohol. This video covers how, in hopefully and easy to understand way.

Credits to this method go to the Yahoo group "polyex".

They have a finite life so cleaning them will only delay the problem, you have to take the unit aprt to clean them so you might as well replace them.
