Title: S2000 button bulbs Post by: therockinelvis on June 24, 2012, 12:16:04 AM I have several burned out bulbs in my s2000/visions. I cannot get the socket to come out of the button. My S+'s pop right out. What do I have to do? Afraid to pull too hard and don't feel any lock tab. Jim

What kind do you have? Title: Re: S2000 button bulbs Post by: cowboygames on June 24, 2012, 02:10:04 AM I've had some tight ones before. What i did was, remove the outer lens cap and use a narrow tip flat blade screwdriver to tap ot loose from the top side
Title: Re: S2000 button bulbs Post by: Buzz on June 24, 2012, 05:55:48 AM If it's a IGT factory button switch, you should just have to wiggle it side to side while pulling down. ( sometimes they are kind of a Bitch ) If by chance someone installed after market switches, try rotating the lower half CW
( which is backwards from what you would think ) I think someone once posted, slide a tight fitting piece of hose over the glass bulb and either suck on the hose and jerk on it, or put your thumb over the end of the hose. ( Didn't work for me ) ( And yes Skipper I left myself wide open on this one, take your best shot ) Title: Re: S2000 button bulbs Post by: Foster on June 24, 2012, 06:41:00 AM the newer S2000 switches do have a tab on side of the switch
you have to press or squeeze in on the tabs to release the switch. I do not know if they have been replaced when the machine was shopped or not. All I know is the ones on left side of the deck are a Pain in the A** to get to and release Good idea for preventing the switch from popping out of the button body Title: Re: S2000 button bulbs Post by: CaptainHappy on June 24, 2012, 08:49:49 AM If it's a IGT factory button switch, you should just have to wiggle it side to side while pulling down.

Any helpful tips to get to the 10 smaller buttons? One person suggested removing the lense. What needs to be done for that? 2 small flat blades? I ask so I don't mess it up and need new parts. Also read about changing the 3v button battery to a tray and use cr2032and also remove the green battery. Or is it better to use the same battery that is in it. I have to solder either way. What is prefered?
Title: Re: S2000 button bulbs Post by: cowboygames on June 24, 2012, 09:45:54 PM I use a very small flatblade and pop them off from the top edge between the button base and lense then I use a forceps to change them

Title: Re: S2000 button bulbs Post by: therockinelvis on June 24, 2012, 09:52:26 PM From one side or 2 sides together?
Title: Re: S2000 button bulbs Post by: cowboygames on June 24, 2012, 10:06:34 PM Generally from one side works, occassionally I need to pop the lower side, but not often
