Motorola SM 120 channel buttons

[The_Kid]

Hi, I have a SM120 and the channel selector buttons and scan buttons are hard to press or sometimes they dont even work. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Thanks for any help or info,
Marc

You might be able to carefully disassemble the head and clean the underside of the buttons, not using any water, of course. There's probably a buildup of crud under there if the radios well used. Other than that, perhaps a new head would be needed.

If the back of the buttons(where they contact the small PCB) has lost its conductive coating through age and use you can repair the coating by applying new coating from a repair kit available from at least two suppliers of circuit board repair kits.

Thank you for the replies and ideas. I will try cleaning the contacts first and if that doesn't work I will try some of that conductive coating.
