Hi folks, I'm in the process of putting my studio back together and am using my K5 as a master controller. I've got a new backlight on order (the inverter is ok) so that little item is taken care of. I do have some buttons that don't always work on the first push and I thought I would follow the directions I found on the kfuenf.com site to clean them up, but my buttons don't seem to follow the same rules as those outlined in the tech area on kfuenf.com. The individual switches are little cubic thingies, about 1/4" on a side, and the button head (the part you push on) mounts onto slots on either side of the switch actuator with a couple plastic tabs. With the button removed from the switch I can see no apparent way to get into the switch itself to clean the contacts. The switch actuator is captured by the switch body and it doesn't appear to be a user servicable part. Have any of you run into this same problem with the switch type described, and if so, how did you deal with it? I would imagine I should be able to squirt some electronics contact cleaner down around the edge of the actuator but I don't want to make matters worse instead of better. Perhaps I'm missing something here, but I don't think so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.... <Marv>
