    I'm trying to find a service manual for the 2490, or at least how to take it apart!

    Need to repair the left button and can't work out how to even get the switch panel off so I can pop the top to do it :(

    Now sorted and the left button is glued back into place :)

    In the end I guess I didn't need it as the switch panel did just pop off. Except it didn't "just" pop off, it was pretty scary fighting with it and waiting for the ominous cracking sound!
