Because someone manipulating parts couldn't glue it back together?
was this a UI option or did you have to fix it with wire cutters? mine is mildly irritating.
good news, it's already like this. you can buy parts and replace them yourself :O
Wow I've had this issue for a year now, and just yesterday was thinking about taking it apart to fix it. This just made the task much easiser!
I assume they unscrewed it (joke attempt)
This seems like the type of thing you would have some sort of replacable card for. Assuming it's a fairly common problem.
Point taken, but now tell me which of those was easy to repair?
It's glued so no, not possible to replace.
why do they take them out? and when do they take them out? when it broke?
The fix will probably end up being a drop of superglue.
