The 5d button is mission its cap and the centre pillar on the actual switch is missing , has anyone striped the controller down to access the switch ? Looks like It’s on the gps board, (pic from google attached below) main question , is it possible to
Remove the circuit boards without having to separate them and disrupting the thermal paste ? My OG 5d switch is Covered in glue , probably to prevent the switch falling off Like the early ones did , I’ll need to pick it out obviously,

Trying to remember the process.
The 500 is much easier to work on than the 510. I don’t remember any issues with thermal paste that were beyond control.
