[sdiy] cr-8000 button fix progress

[Tim Parkhurst]

Just one note: I'd probably avoid rubbing alcohol to clean electrical
contacts or PCBs. Rubbing alcohol contains lanolin and other
ingredients for skin conditioning. These ingredients can actually end
up attracting MORE dust and junk. What you need is Isopropyl alchol,
at least 98 or 99% pure. I've been able to find it at drug stores,
just check the label carefully.
