| [title] Desolder Each Microswitch | |
| - | [* icon_note] Apologies for not having more detail here... I don't have a good setup for photography while using both hands. |
| - | [* black] Add some new solder to each of the three terminals on the switch. |
| - | [* black] While pulling the microswitch away from the board, heat the three terminals. The switch should come free. |
| - | [* black] If you have trouble with this method, you may have better luck by ''removing'' as much solder as possible using solder wick and a solder sucker before heating the terminals. |
| - | [* black] Clean the terminals of any excess solder using a solder sucker and solder braid. The holes in the board should be clearly visible, it should be easy to insert your new switches. |

However you do it, all three terminals will need to be warm enough to melt their solder at the same time. |
