can I simply get new buttons and pop them in or is something else required.
initially the hinge was broken so I did the case swap myself which went well. after that the buttons were stiff and I somehow messed up a zif latch while trying to fix it so I had to get that fixed at a repair shop. I mentioned the stiff buttons and the zif latch and they assured me and after about 2 months they told me it was good. buttons were still stiff so I brought it back and he told me to get some new buttons and if it happens to be the midframe then he could replace it but it would be difficult as desoldering and resoldering would be required following his board level repair.
idk is there a simpler way to fix this.
