    The design of these particular buttons didn’t allow for that. That’s usually what I prefer too.

    The button itself didn’t have any conductive material, it was a small piece of metallic material on the PCB, that when pressed, deflected to connect the circuit. The rubber/polymer buttons just mechanically pushed down on the small metal disc that made that contact happen.

    It was easy enough to pull the small disc off of the PCB, but I don’t think the process can be reversed, or at the very least, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep track of the items removed in order to reverse it.

    I don’t actually plan on replacing the TV at all. It’s job might change, from my main TV to a spare TV in the office or basement or something, but I don’t think I’ll be getting rid of it until it stops functioning.
