The finish on my buttons on the vid is different because I spilled some glue on the front of them with trying to fix them.
The glue came off just fine but dulled the finish a bit.
There is no "different" assembly. I do not have the part number for the assembly because I basically was gagging at the $200 price Denon was charging for it. ANd the buttons are all on one assembly. There is no "separate" buttons.
Also another member on the Denon forum made the point that why would he buy the assembly if the same problem was going to happen again. He Epoxy glued his and stated that the bond is stronger then the assembly itself, therefore he feels its a better solution. Taking this thing apart took HOURS.
As far as Prime goes, I just go by the Denon forum links (which I included above) and what people have stated about their prime button failing. If you look at the words they are using to describe the Prime buttons failing, they are describing the exact situation as seen here in this vid. They are saying the "fell through" or "loose" and unresponsive due to them being wobbly. I may not have looked under the hood of a Prime unit, but the problem descriptions of the Denon forum are an exact description of the problem im having with the MC7000. There are many in that post describing the exact same issue with their Primes. I think its safe to assume its the same type of situation going on with the side button switch contacts and cheap plastic housing getting stressed.
Look im not looking to argue with anyone, do your research decide for yourselves.
Look at the denon forums. Learn from a guy (me) who voided his warranty and made a video solely for the purpose of getting to the real issue here.
