Do you have a source for getting replacement buttons? I have volume buttons that don’t work and was hoping to fix them/ replace them. Thank you!

Hi Patrick,
I literally just finished successfully fixing my volume-up button.
The replacement part number for the right microswitches is EVQ-P7J01P, available at Digi-Key:
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/e…
Really inexpensive (around 30 cents each). Pro-tip - to help remove the old switch easily, cut it in half with sharp side-cutters.
Good luck!
