I am sure I am not the only one in the universe who experienced the rubber button damaged on Edge 1000 cycling computer. I have used mine since late 2016, but it is not my only head, and they all share the workload. I would say I used my 520 more than the 1000 over all these years. Well, the Edge 1000 decided to fail first, however, it is only a small fix required.
See the first pic about the damage :
The key part is the rubber which contact the physical button and now I have to re-create the contact point.
Clear up the residual rubber around the physical buttons and ensure there are around 8x5 to 8x6mm open window.
Next I use a small round shape plastic with diameter of about 7mm and height about 5mm, inserted into the open window and tested to operate the on/off of the unit. It works great.
Finally, applied glue which is elastic after dry, something like those you use to fix your shoes. Applied around the residual rubber, the gap and slightly over the "new" plastic button. Wait for a complete dry, put back the silicon cover.
It is done.
