Repair to MX60 soft buttons

I have an mx60 which is still working with the exception of the display buttons. I googled around and it seems this is repairable but I am just looking to sell the unit. can you experts advise me if I should just junk it sell it for parts or advertise it for sale for expert repairing and use in their systems?

Am sure that your Searches lead you to the OB Forum:

IIRC, the keypad can be removed, and the contact area of the buttons, and the contact area on the PCB can be cleaned with a gentle solvent -- perhaps denatured or isopropyl aclohol (both in short-supply, these days).
Good Luck, Vic
I think that OB says that the old keypad is different than the new keypad but they are the same.
Sometimes you can clean them but not always. The conductive pellets sometimes just go away.

You are welcome to post items for sale here, I think there's a section for that (or maybe the off topic group)
- Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.
Yes I would be interested in the unit for a play fix unit, hit me up and let me know what you are asking.

Hope the attached pictures show what I did. I just used a skinny screwdriver to poke holes in the silicone and take the soft key out through the front. Then I put a couple copper 'leads on to make contact. I probably might go and get some silver paste to make a hopefully longer lasting solution, but this seemed way easier than disconnecting everything and disassembling the whole charge controller. Seems to make contact now, but have to press harder than the other keys.
