Big thanks to Firehand for his youtube tutorial and awnsering all my rookie questions!

Thanks.
It was my first time trying to fix something like this.
And it didn't help when the batterypack broke and a battery started smoking and sparkling. Had to order new batterypack here in the Netherlands, hoping they would fit. But in the end it all went well. Just took a bit longer then I expected. And yes, now a bit more confident in doing this again. If another button breaks.
