How do I replace a damaged volume button?
I dropped my phone and slightly bent the case and volume button. I am able to still use the volume down but due to the dented button I am unable use volume up. I ordered a new button and am just curious if anyone has any advice on the best way to go about changing the button out?
Is dit een goede vraag?

If the case is dented you could try to straiten out the dent in the case or replace it to get the volume buttons to move freely again. If the actual volume button rocker is badly bent you can replace that by removing the case to get access to it. If the volume button rocker moves freely in both directions you can also remove the volume button rocker without removing the back case. I use an razor blade or tweezers and pry up at the bottom side of the volume - down button. It has to be done from the volume down area only as it has a flexible rubber piece which slides into the case. The top side of the volume rocker is not flexible. So when putting the rocker back in, slide the bottom flexible rubber in first but not all the way back in, then lift the bottom of the volume rocker up enough to clear the case and slightly slide it back till the top of the volume rocker can drop and slide into place inside the case. Then press the bottom area of the rocker down into place once it is lined up properly.
