sticky buttons

[Calico_jack89]

Recently my buttons of my V.4 are begining to stick and become a little un-responsive. I was wondering if anyone else has developed this problem and what you have done to clean or prevent it from happening. I'm thinking of popping the shell and cleaning with a cotton bud with a bit of isopropyl alcohol.

Anyone have an idea?

Cheers!

Ya, use a cotton bud, wet with water it a little and just slowly move the cotton bud around the buttons in circles. I reccomend not using anything but water...my opinion anyway.

Thanks, I only thought of using the alcohol as it dries almost immediately and I've used it for a couple of other electronics cleaning jobs. Its due for a battery change soon (Its not the only one, I've got another three in need of new ones), so I may as well open the rest of the shell while I'm at it.

It may be safe to use water but do not use to much, I know someone who tried this but their tama broke! Make sure you stick a bit of paper around the buttons before you clean it!

Have a nice day!

i think the best thing to use is cotton swabs, with alcohol (not to much) ^_^

Use a cotton swab and apply alcohol. My v4 undergoes the same dilemna periodically, and that's my solution.
