My buttons are wearing on my enclave. How hard is it to replace on your own? Steps I need to take?

it is VERY simple! The trim around it and radio pops off - i purchased a $6 trim tool to pop it off with. After that there are 4 screws and then it just unplugs and plug new unit in. Took me 5 minutes!

You have to do it in your car. I honestly started to mess with the buttons until it showed what I needed and then pressed on it. It is tricky but you will get it. Good luck!

its not difficult but its not something you will want to do daily, or twice a day. you'll need to clean it off so its not heavy, get on your knees & unscrew both knobs, then lift up & retighten.

I did a little search on google.com, found the basics, took me maybe 5-10 minutes to figure out how to make a custom color, other than that, the buttons are self explanitory. Hope this helps. jc

I looked at my poncho and you are correct. Both my bottom buttons are female and will not snap. I don't know if this is a defect or not.

It's fairly easy to replace the sticks. You really only have to be careful with the two ribbon cables you have to disconnect. It can be a little tricky lining up the touch pad ribbon back into its connector. So, I'd test the controller with a game before reassembling it completely, because your buttons won't work while playing if the touch pad ribbon isn't aligned properly. It only took me somewhere around 10 minutes or so to install the new sticks.

What I found on this highly annoying issue is that the button is too small for my thumb. But the symptom should appear when trying to start too. The work around is to build up the button to make it easier to push. I've used trimmed rubber bumper pads, but I'm thinking a drop or two of some kind of glue might be better.

The vendor was very kind to send another one out but it had the same issue. With my spare case, I decided to use a sharp knife to cut through the long sides of the button and this has seriously improved the responsiveness for the power button. Of course, be careful not to cut yourself and also be sure to leave the plastic attached at the two narrow ends of the case's power button. Much better! Again, the vendor, Totallee was outstanding and helpful.

I actually shimmed my button with little bits of plastic under the rubber cap, to make the button easier to activate. It's buried and quite stiff. I think you're far more likely to pop off the pocket clip and lose the clip. (happened twice on mine, lucky enough to find it again both times -- And I squeezed closed the part that holds onto the barrel to grip tighter, but i'm not sure of the effectiveness there.) Just make sure the light is INSIDE the pocket, and you should be okay to not lose the flashlight itself. :o)

I got mine a couple months ago and the buttons are fine. While researching the case, I read that some of the older models were bad about that. So if you have an older one, I'd request to swap it with a newer one through them.

I know the middle button /home button stays on when repairing but what about the 2 other buttons?

The buttons may need a little help. How to reuse the old is described in the instructions. I bought a roll of double sided tape, "just in case", and did not need it, nor would I advise buying it "just in case". Your key to success will be your environment and your patience, this is not a job to attempt while tired, hungry, watching small children, or engaged in other tasks. Give yourself two hours and you will probably need one.

I had my last button on for about a month and I recently switched it out with a new button, and a little residue was left behind. A damp cloth removed it after about a minute if gentle wiping. The adhesive they use is very soft and pliable allowing repositioning when desired, which is nice, but not without fault. Hope this helps.

Have same issue with posts on panel cover also snapped. Original switch works but dropped down and hard to use buttons. Good luck, Jeremy. Please comment if you find part name or ID and if you find a source; I will too. Best!

This is something you need to be VERY careful with. If you rip the ribbon cable (the link between the home button and the logic board) you'll have to replace it and it's pretty difficult, the connections are really small and difficult to work with. CAREFULLY peel the connection cable off of the back of the home button. I got started by peeling the thin line between the logic board and the button but if you do that you'll have to make sure you don't rip the cable. Once you get a corner/ piece of the cable pulled up on the actual button peel from there. Then just pop the replacement button on and you'll be all set. And to keep the button in place during the replacement put a little scotch tape on it. There are lots of videos on YouTube just type in iPhone 4S home button replacement.

Yes strap buttons must come off, but save original to replace when selling.

It's very hard to take it off, I had one before, it was like this one, I just took it off to change it for this new one. if you wanna change it for a new one, you can pull it hard. You may wanna do it just if you don't wanna it anymore or you wanna change it, because it might break on the corners. Good luck!!
