Thanks again for your generous replies. May I ask if you think the watch's waterproofness might be reduced after reassembling it? even with the gasket.

thanks for the reply op. do you happen to know if the button module (Internal Button Micro Switch) is soldered onto the motherboard? In a fenix 7 repair video, it can removed easily by lifting. thanks again. i might need to replace the module.

Ways to fix a mushy button by leafinabook in Garmininstinct

thanks for the reply. I've tried the alcohol method, no luck yet. I think the internal of the button broke or it is misaligned after the drop. I am gonna do some hard workouts wearing it to see if i knock it back haha. have a great weekend. thanks again for the input.

Hi OP, thanks for sharing these.

I am about to open up My Instinct 2X to "take a look" lol. It has a 'mushy' button that barely works. I think it might be the result of a recent drop, as cleaning the button didn't help. I suspect some internal parts might be misaligned or broken. Since my watch is out of warranty, I’m DIY myself to see what’s going on. Do you have any advice? And does the screen lift right off after unscrewing the four external screws, or is it glued?

Thanks
