Many thanks this is a very useful video, did the repair this morning, given 3 foot switches were bouncing and unusable
My Helix dates back to 2016 and well out of warranty, so not an awful lot to lose.
I took the time to tape up switch regions as well and used a electrical contact cleaner spray from Amazon.
Hints
=---=
1). Take a photo before disassembly.
2). Loosen all screws 2 turns before going back taking them out.
3). When putting the screws back in, do not tighten before all screws are in place.
4). Be careful around those two units on either side of the switches, they are the LED's.
This cured the problem for the time being.....
Look forward to playing every day for the next 8 years.
Was hoping to see a desolder/replacement.. ya know, an actual repair. 😅
I've got the same Issue with 2 switches... I am a little afraid to open this thing up. But your Video helped me alot. I maybe should give it a try soon. :)
What Is the Liquid You use for clean the switchs? Isopropyl Alcohol?
