 +For an experienced user who knows what he's doing this can be the way to go. 
 +But there is some risk in it especially if you are doing this for the first time. 
 + 
 +If you are unlucky you may end up with a display where some lines of pixels are missing 
 +when you power up your Skyper afterwards. 
 + 
 +What has happened? Please keep in mind that Skyper hardware is around 20 years old stuff. 
 + 
 +While pulling out the display board this way the flexible board connector 
 +atop of the LCD display may move and some pins can get loose. 
 + 
 +Should this ever happen there is no known way to fix it.

 +After experiencing this twice up to now (I have modified >20 Skyper) I asked myself:
 +
 +Is there a safer way to work on the display board?
 +
 +YES there is one.
 +
 +You can fix the LCD to the display board applying a few drops of 2K glue at the positions
 +shown below. ​
 +
 +After hardening for some hours you can pull out the board using a simple smartphone
 +opening tool at the two shown positions.
 +
 +One tool is enough - you don't need two of them.

 +If you did the soldering and the modification on the RF board of your Skyper yourself
 +it should be no problem for you to get the old microswitches out and new ones in.
 +
 +For me it was difficult to get them here in Germany. The dimensions are listed below.
 +
 +I found them on eBay. They are quite inexpensive even if you have to order 100 pcs in China.
  
 +In my opinion its a good idea to replace all 4 microswitches even if only one
 +is faulty. So the look and feel is the same on all 4 keys afterwards.
