If you had the idea to just put some tape over the contacts for buttons you want to disable, don’t bother. The buttons are not typical conductive rubber keypads; they actually depress physical dome switches, and that membrane is glued to the PCB. It appears that defeating the switches requires permanent modification, either to the rubber keypad or to the switch itself.
