======================

i think my XL7 saw very little use before i recently came into possession 
of it, but the buttons are still flaky. i haven't tried it yet, but i 
suspect that some contact cleaner (into the micro-switches) will fix them. 
those switch-buttons are so tiny, a little spec of dust could make them 
not respond well.

in my experience, only the nasty non-eco-friendly contact cleaner is worth 
using. last time i tried the tree-hugger citrus cleaner stuff, it worked 
great at first, but after a few days there was a sticky residue that made 
it worse. i quick splash of the nasty stuff fixed it.
