Subject: Korg EX8000: Can the LED front panel buttons be opened for contact cleaning?

From: Tim <gilburpgrape@...>
Date: 2012-11-14

Hi all,

Is it possible on the EX8000 to take the LED front panel buttons ("Program", "Parameter", "Poly1", "Poly 2", "Unison1" and "Unison2" apart to contact clean the switches?
I have successfully taken the non-illuminated buttons apart with a set of long nose pliers but am hesitant to do the same for the LED buttons as I am unsure of the construct of this switch?
The service manual does not appear to shed any light on the serviceability of the buttons!
Maybe someone on this forum has had some prior experience with the service of the EX8000's front panel buttons?

Many thanks

Tim
