[Closed] Garmin Edge stuck buttons?

Anyone else experienced this? The two main front buttons on my Garmin Edge 205 are very stubborn to press; they work but there's not much movement there. It's got pretty muddy and wet over the years but still functions fine internally, just wondered if anyone else had seen this... TIA

Yes, I give my 305 a rinse under the tap every now and then.

I've got the same problem, have to really press them hard with two fingers to get them working. Not sure to solve it though. Hopefully, someone will have the answer.

Maybe I'll carefully soak it in some Isoproypl Alcohol or something, see if I can dislodge em!

Same prob here. Running a fingernail around the button did seem to do the trick.

You can prise the buttons off with a jeweller's screwdriver or knife blade; they just pop off vertically so you can give it a thorough clean behind.

I do this with mine every now and then after it's been particularly mud-splattered.

Cool, me too. Cheers for the tip!

ps - note to anyone else, watch you don't lose the little rubber donut-ty things on the underside of the buttons, they come off pretty easy... As I found out ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
