I having problems with my forward button sticking, It only happens if you press it at an angle, but it's a pain. Also the fascia is loose.

Any ideas on a solution.

Thanks,

Bill

Try to tighten the display a bit more. But be careful to not tighten it too hard - it could maybe break your faceplate a bit.
I selfmade a dislpay and had a similar problem with a button. You could try to find out where exactly the button sticks. Then you could unsrcrew the faceplate move the transparent display-plate a bit to avoid sticking and then remount the faceplate again. This should help.

Good idea... Thanks... I've done that so now it's a case of wait and see if it happens again.

By the way - has someone a got a screw from the faceplate left? I lost one during my experiments. It fell down on the floor and slipped in a small cut in the floor - quite deep. And as I found out they are made of some anti magnetic material - I've already tried with a magnet but I can't reach it.
I took a screw with a different look in the meantime but if I can get the exact screw I'd be glad. Any partnumber/sites to get it?

murphys law - whenever a bread with butter falls on the floor it falls on the side with butter. Or in my case - whenever you unscrew something you'll loose at least one screw...

I used to have that problem, losing screws in odd places. So I built a 120V, 15A superconducting electromagnet. Hasn't failed to retrieve a screw yet, but you better not be wearing a watch or have any metal fillings when you switch it on. Oh, and you have only a few seconds to use it before it warms up and you have to put it back into the liquid N2.

Of course, the last time I used it to fish a screw out of my PC's case.. Well, let's not go into that.
