Removing the Buttons
Removing the Buttons Posted on: 03.03.2010 by Marcella Sela Hey all,Hate to sound like a complete idiot, and I recall this being briefly posted but could not find the detailed thread for the life of me. I wish to take apart my midi fighter, which isn't a problem, minus the sanwa buttons. I want to know I am doing it right prior to removing them as I don't want to damage the midi fighter. I found this is in another post: "Look in this group for a post on removing the buttons from the top plate - if you're forcing anything you're doing it wrong, they should easily pop out with finger pressure when you get the side clips properly disengaged. " I know how to pull them out of the acrylic plastic itself, but I'm confused as to how I would go about detaching them from the actual PCB. They seem to be clipped in quite tightly Anyone care to help a newbie out? | |

| Bridget Zdunek 16.10.2011 | Thanks so much for this not exactly obvious tip - really saved me from pulling out each button! |
| Dee Atondo 06.03.2010 | Yes. Just don't force them out. MF is sweet but delicate. |
| robin loo 04.03.2010 | unscrew the top screws and gently lift the faceplate up.. it's pretty easy.. |
