PB 360 big buttons.. wearing out? broken

hidari · 12-07-2010, 07:55 PM

Any chance or problem of the big buttons on the 360 wearing out or breaking? mine is brand new but just wondering if anyone has had any problems with these buttons?

I've had my PB360 since April. No sign of any problems with buttons so far.

I've had it since February. They are a bit stiff the first days, but they loosen a bit with time. However, they work just like the first day.

Buttons on my 13 months old device work OK. I do not see any difference. And, believe me, they do get quite a workout every day.

There was one problem. The printed circuit board that holds the switches under buttons is fixed by a two tiny screws. The screws can get loose and you will hear a rattling sound when you shake the device. Stop using the device and contact PocketBook if that happens. I have one of very first units, I believe. I have repaired my device myself and it took 2 minutes. Just out the screw back and fix it with a drop of glue.

Ta Longsman and Kacir for the advice. I figured the buttons would be ok..but since they seemed attached or fixed to the frame of the device..i was wondering if that would be a problem long term.

Did you try the chess application in your Pocketbook?

Not yet but will give it a go some time. I play about 100 games on line so a wee bit busy with that... did try the calculator though...

I have had mine for almost a year and no problems with the buttons yet. Mine gets a very regular work out too!
