[Premium-Rx] WJ8718A Push button problem

[Steve Pappin]

Werner,

Do not force the switches if they are stuck. You probably lost a return 
springs on the switch stack. The switch frame could also loose. You will 
probably have to replace the stack. You can try lubricating the switch 
mechanisms with silicone and gently rock the switches. I know how to unlock 
the selector bar but it is not easy and can damage the switch if it is done 
wrong (springs and parts flying all over the room).

Best Regards,
Steve
