It is recommended that you have the iFixit ProTech Tool Kit and have already taken out the Motherboard and removed the case.

    Used this to clean the buttons which had become unresponsive. Excellent tear down - thanks.

Good instructions. Where can I purchase new buttons???

Michael Freeman -

Hello, I would recommend looking on eBay for a broken remote with a good membrane, also check craigslist or potentially amazon. A quick search for one and I couldn't find a membrane.

I also am looking for a new button membrane, any ideas? gimmick73@hotmail.com

Good advice. I bought a used one from ebay to replace the one I bought brand new from bestbuy and promptly broke the screen by dropping it on the kitchen floor. I plan on replacing the worn buttons on the working used replacement with the buttons from my broken one, and perhaps the case as well. Will let you know how it works out.

Since I didn’t find a new membrane , I purchased conductive silver varnish and used it to restore conductive capabilities of worn buttons.

At least imediately after repare it is working just fine. I’ll report here how it lasts over time, if don’t forget.

This helped me get down to the unresponsive buttons. Like Wassilij I used conductive silver paint. Works well, like this

Instruction was working well. I had problem with only one button on the side of the display. I cleaned the contact surface of the button with the isopropyl alcohol. It had some small dust. Now the button is working much better, but it is still not perfect.

I think that the problem is with the black metal (magnet?) which has wear. Thanks for helping ! Great forum/guide.
