This guide is applicable, with minor variations, to all models in the Roomba 500/600 series (any model starting with a 5 or 6.)
This guide can be used to remove and/or replace a broken or stuck "clean" button. This guide is more intensive and time consuming than other Roomba 560 guides. Be prepared to remove the top silver panel to access the control board that houses the button.

Thanks! This guide is just what I need to fix the ‘CLEAN’ button on a Roomba 652 that doesn’t work even though the ‘SPOT’ and ‘DOCK’ buttons do. I figure there’s some plastic part of the button that’s physically snapped. The robot is charging up and running as it should otherwise.
