Faulty JP8000 buttons

Some of the buttons on my JP8000 are not working properly. You have to push them quite hard and wiggle your finger on the button if they are to work. Is this an easy thing to fix?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

It could be one of two things.. either the microswitches have collapsed and need replacing or more likely the contacts have oxidised and are now making a poor connection.

Get yourself a can of deoxit, open up the JP and spray a little into each microswitch and then wiggle each switch around to work the Deoxit into the contacts
That usually does the trick for non responsive buttons or EM Encoders

Hope this helps
