I recently opened up my 4K and installed a hardrive in it, after puttin it back together everything worked great except 4 buttons I had to start really pressin em hard or at an angle for them to work. HOW CAN I FIX THIS PROBLEM?

Open her up again... and re-seat those buttons buddy!

It's a different procedure for getting to the buttons than it is for getting access to the hard drive area - right?

I just had mine opened up the other night to examine the CD drive and it looked like the buttons were all closed up inside the two layer top/front panel.

So the buttons worked before you opened up the unit? The tact switches under the buttons may need to be replaced.
