Manually repairing Playbook buttons
Hello everyone, I am here today because of a common problem, that seems to be getting worse as time goes on; depressed buttons. Not everyone has the option of simply sending it back for repairs or buying another one. I want to solve this once and for all, and maybe help some other frustrated users out in the process.
The same button problem has also affected some iPod shuffle owners; the few buttons they have to operate the device have stopped responding, or become hard to use. Super annoying!
:mad:
My question is, is there anyone here that has opened their Playbook before? I have watched a few teardown videos online, and it seems the problem can be solved with a few small shims. I never get to see a good image of the top, because the repair videos only focus on the motherboard and batteries. What I need is a few photos, maybe even a video of the top of an open Playbook, so I can see the contacts before I take the plunge and attempt to find a fix.
Can anyone help me?:o
