Introduction

This guide explains how to replace the buttons on the Epson VS240. The buttons control many functions of the device, and if one or more have stopped functioning, it may be necessary to replace them. Special requirements include a Phillips #1 screwdriver and having a gentle touch, because the piece you'll be fixing is very delicate.
