  • This is the button that’s not working. All the other buttons have the same parts so if a different button is damaged, you can replace it the same way.

Step 8

  • Notice the metal contacts and the direction of the tactile switchs. The small metal tab faces your right.
  • Place the new tactile switch. I didn’t use glue but a tiny piece of 2mm adhesive sticker tape can work just as well.

Hi -

I just want to say thank you! I made the repair exactly as shown and put a teeny drop of rubber cement in the middle of the new tactile plate to hold it in place, happy to say it all appears to work fine. As for the part itself, the part # is the same for the G3 and you can order from them in CT, USA.

cheers,

pete

Cool! I’m glad the guide helped you with your repair! do you happen to have the website for the store that sells them?

Yup! This works. :-)

I have the Sennheiser ew100 G3. The “down” arrow button was stuck and I couldn’t change anything in my menus. What a pain!

So, I ordered two of the buttons from www.fullcompass.com this last week (item number 072512). At fullcompass, they call it a “Switch, Power SK100G2/SK100G3”. It’s the same button for the up arrow, down arrow, on/off and set buttons. It was $1.99 each and I ordered 2 plus $3 shipping.

I used a small screwdriver to gently pop the old button off and it actually came out in two pieces instead of one.

Anyway, I placed the new button on the little prongs and made sure it faced the same direction as the other buttons on the board. I put a little (and I mean little) piece of electrical tape over the side of the button. I’m talking like 1mm wide by 1cm long.

Screwed everything back together and voila! Working Sennheiser. Saved me almost $100 in repair. :-)

Thanks!

What holds the new switch on? How are the contacts made without soldering?
