I ate oranges while reading with my Libra 2 in the other hand. It came as it had to, orange juice dripped into the small gap of the lower button. It's been a few months now and the button still clicks badly, it's a sticky feeling. I guess the sugar of the orange juice is still in there.

How can I fix this? I took off the back cover but couldn't get to the circuit board with the buttons. I also could not find any instructions on how I can remove the buttons. Can I safely drip isopropanol into the gap of the button from above?

Has anyone ever had the same problem, or has an instruction how one can disassemble the button part? I would be very grateful, reading with a sticky button is pretty annoying!
