Remove the brown cap over the buttons with the words
on it(push it up or down looking from top by the
sides), there's a white moving part that holds the
button into a gray part, which isn't removable except
by unsoldering it. The white part is clipped into the
gray one, use small screwdrivers, or use pliers but
DON'T TWIST IT, the button might get unusable after if
you do this.
