    Default Kontrol X1 self Repair

    I have an issue with one of my X1's. Namely the Right FX1 button sticking and unresponsive until you press it hard to the left side of it.

    Has anybody opened up one? or have any hint's as to how to go about repairing it?

    So pretty sealed? Any idea if there's any factory manuals out there? cannot seem to see any.

    It's been opened and there's pictures posted on here somewhere. They showed how to remove the writing on the buttons. I can't find the thread though.

    i've got the same button problem, but with the Hotcue, sometimes it don't respond...
    i dont know if open it and do a cleaning would solve this.

    Dismantling / reassembly completed. Pretty simple, just had to remember about the screw behind the NI sticker.

    Tested without the enclosure e.g PCB only. Look's as though the switch is faulty as pressing it had to be done on a certain angle to activate it. Looking at the Ni website for details of any warranties. Non found so far.

    Look's as though I need to find someone with soldering skill's better than mine to replace it.
