Thank you, you're a star.



Photo from that thread.

Buttons are on the left, with their square caps removed. You may just be able to flick them out from the main fascia without having to disassemble everything, but I would disassemble just to get at them properly.

Looks like a tight fit to spray isopropyl alcohol or similar, unless that hole in the middle of them will allow you to spray directly into the switch itself, you could always try if you have the iso alcohol handy. Otherwise spraying around into any spaces around the switch while you keep pressing it in/out could help.

However rather than going out and buying even better contact cleaner (such as Swish, at £20 a pop) and find you're still not able to do it, I'd be tempted to just de-solder and replace the switches themselves instead as it could be a symptom of wear and tear, and the switches would likely be cheap to buy brand new.
