Hi Chip,
I think it is misleading to say there are only two main parts, the button
and the button cover. I think it should more explicitly say that there are
four parts, including the LED. The "button cover" is two pieces, the frame
and the cap. The cap is the colored part (gray, beige, red, orange) and the
frame is black. Make sure you mention to NOT try to remove the cap from the
frame, as this usually results in breaking the little black plastic hinges
that hold it on. You must remove the frame, cap and LED (three pieces)
together, after unsoldering the LED.

Subject: [PolySix] Instructions for Replacing a Push-Button
I choose to replace another push-button yesterday. This time, I took a bunch
of pictures and wrote up the process.
So, if anyone needs to replace a push-button, but didn't know how, maybe
this post will be helpful to you...

Anyone got any improvements or suggestions?
