Infokey Button not working

bonanza34g · 01-11-2011, 11:05 AM

The power button on my infokey is always compressed, as if a needed spring is not pushing it out as it should.

I don't know how these buttons are designed, can I take the infokey apart and perhaps fix this myself?

Thanks

Steve

Yes if you are mechanically inclined.

See here for my tip on how to remove the screws.

I fixed my info key button spring by rounding the point of a 16 penny nail and lightly taping the spring/metal to increase the dimpal thus giving it more spring. R&R of the small e clip was tedious but not impossible. working for now, will post any update as I have many more buttons to fix.

Update on info key repair: I found that if you put the little e clip on a piece of tape it keeps you from dropping it fourteen times. It also helps to align it on the small shaft as it gives you something to hold onto. Al
