Brilliant! I was hoping someone could suggest another way of doing it without drilling. I'd be grateful if you could show exactly how I can do that?

Basically just give the contacts a rub with some wire wool to remove the coating so they are nice and shiny .

Another thing you can do is cut a v groove down the center of where each button contacts are with a utility knife and this will give you a larger surface to solder to.

iff you drill how to prevent soldering the ground with the positive?

the way to do it is to "cut" the contact in half with a knife...

be carefull with multiple grounds, usually you can't connect all together
