Use this guide to replace the button board in your Analogue pocket.

This board has the buttons for your bumpers. You might need to replace it if your bumpers aren't working, are inconsistent, or aren't clicking.

Note: Removing the battery from its recess isn't a required step, but it makes accessing the board and its cable easier.
