Help with repair

[Gadgetboy]

Hey guys. So my wife had a minor accident with her mod. She has an RDTA and she overfilled it. The juice went pouring out all over the mod.
Thankfully she pulled the batteries out and cleaned off the spilt juice. Unfortunately a lot of juice made its way into the fire button. I have managed to clean off the excess but in the process of taking it apart j managed to destroy the "up" button.
Is there anyone who can maybe help out with a hot air station to desolder the button and replace it with one I have from an old mod?
She currently has the Manto Pro and loves it.

That can be done with a soldering iron.

Yip, I'm sure it can but I do not have a soldering iron with such a fine tip.

I've fixed 2 mods with the same problem. Found a suitable replacement set it in place and just used a touch of glue with a glue gun. As I write this I'm vaping one of those mods, it works

That looks like the buffer strip has come loose, (a thin piece of self adhesive foam between the lcd screen and the lens on the mod casing).
If you disassemble your mod, you should be able to relocate it easily enough

I agree with @Intuthu Kagesi 's suggestion however I don't think that this particular mod will be easy to open.

Take a look at this video :



I would personally just leave it where it is. I admit that I am a function over form type of person so the black spot wouldn't bother me much.

P.S. The taking it apart bit starts around 3min 20 secs.

Your reservations are valid @Puff the Magic Dragon ... I guess the question here is how technically proficient are you @delon? and ... is it worth the risk ... remembering that there's always a risk disassembling something that was mass produced

Here's a video on the disassembly, it is certainly a little "fiddly";

True yes, I'm sceptical

I can't reall make out if from the pic. But if there something in the screen then it can be removed. If you want to try I suggest heating the plastic screen covering with a hair dryer and try to remove the plastic cover without stripping the mod. Remember heat and plastic isn't best friends so don't keep the hair dryer too close.
Edit.
I've watched both videos now it's not that complicated to strip.

and the plastic was from the fire button...

I will have to replace the button eventually, but how, without disassembling it
