406 Key question

Post by Village »

The button on my key has fallen off (outer part that covers the switch) as shown below:

The key still works but I'm sure that it will be collecting pocket lint and dust soon. Not wanting to go to the expense of a whole new key, I've decided to just swap the plastic bit on the outside, but upon opening the case I can't see how to remove the metal part (the key) to put it into the replacement (probably bought cheap from fleabay)

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi,

I had the same problem with the key on my old 306.
I purchased a replacement case off Ebay and swapped it over.
To change it undo the screw in the key (as if replacing the batterys) and the inner parts come out easily and the metal key blade slides out too.
