Sequencer Transport Buttons; is that normal?

No

they are broken. the play and stop buttons seem to break after about 18 months if you use the sequencer regularly.

ok, is there a way to exchange them? I mean they work, but I'd rather have "normal" ones

this works ive tried it.

Thanks a lot... so you didn't try to exchange the buttons? I mean they're really cheap but if it's to complicated I'd stay with this (as mentioned, they still work...)

blakic somebody else took the g apart and replaced the buttons in an earlier post and photoed the procedure. i am not adverse to taking electronic things apart however try pulling of a fader top or the magic button for instance.... it requires allot of force and these are connected directly to the circuit board........ and all of these buttons and knobs have to come of to get to the pcb to replace the buttons which are going to break again sometime in the future? im happy with my solution. faster and easier and if it did break which i doubt it wil, it would cost me £8 to replace.
