    How easy is it to change the front panel buttons on a CF-19?

    Do they peel off or does it require dismantling to get to the back of them?

    Double sided tape.
    Tricky to get off without destroying the thin circuit board underneath.
    Must remove bottom to disconnect cable

    This is where my collection of dental picks over the years has helped. They not only have the pointy type but also ones with flat, scraping sides. Easy to sneak under these and release them without destroying the cable or board... If you know where and what you are doing.

    I've been going to the same dentist for the past 20 years. For the past 12 years I have been asking for dental picks just about every time I go. I usually get a set... Sometimes I don't. Try asking your next visit! They are miles ahead of what you can buy in the store!
