Great tutorial! The pictures were awesome, I replaced my cord in about 15 minutes thanks to this post. The only thing you might want to add is the gray switch with the spring. Mine fell out while I was trying to put the unit back together and I had to research how it went back together correctly. Thanks again!

I had the same spring lever issue. This video shows how to replace them.

Thank you for the YouTube link on the button reassembly. I should have expected it to be sitting loaded when I disassembled it.
