Step 5Insert the Buttons and Connect Them to the Numpad Circuit Board
First I soldered short wires to the buttons, then I inserted the buttons in the holes and glued them from the back. I didn't trust hot glue for this and applied a blob of liquid nails.
I did the same with the numerical keypad, I placed it in a blob of glue in between the buttons.
Then it was simply a matter of following the diagram I made previously to connect the wires that are attached to the circuit board to the buttons. I first twisted all the wires together and did another test with the video player to make sure it did what I wanted and then soldered them together.
And the last step was attaching the bottom with four screws. Glue seemed out of the question, considering that it would make any repairs very hard.
Make sure you secure the USB cable where it comes out of the box. You can be sure it will pulled on savagely.
