Introduction

If the zoom (+/-) buttons on your JVC Adixxion GC-XA1BU action camera are unresponsive, stuck, or damaged, replacing them may be necessary to restore full functionality. However, before proceeding with a replacement, it is important to troubleshoot the issue.

If the buttons are unresponsive, check if the camera's firmware is up to date and restart the device to rule out software issues. Make sure there are no dust or debris that may be obstructing the buttons. If the buttons are cracked, missing, or not clicking properly, a replacement is needed.

If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, follow this guide to safely and effectively replace the zoom (+/-) buttons on your JVC Adixxion GC-XA1BU.
