Introduction
The Handspring visor edge uses a pad of buttons held to the device with screws and a metal plate. Over time and repeated use, these buttons often wear down making it difficult to use them to navigate. Luckily the button pad is easily replaced with minimal to no risk of damage to the device.
This guide will walk you step by step through the process of easily removing and replacing the pads on your Handspring Visor Edge so you can once again use it with ease.
Before you begin, make sure that your phone is off and unplugged from the charger.
