HD500 Foot switch issue

[FrozenOzone]

Hello all,

 

I need to see if anybody knows how to clean a foot switch in a HD500? I have had my 500 for about 3 1/2 years and I use it almost everyday and recently this started to happen on FS6 switch.  If I tap dance on it a few times it will eventually activate but it's a real pain when playing live..

 

Has anybody used contact cleaner with success? and How would you spray it in there? 

 

Any videos showing a replacement?

 

Thanks....

Cool...  Thanks to both of you for the links. I think I will try the contact cleaner first and see if I can't get it to work correctly again. I hope it's not the tiny switch. Replacing it looks easy enough but prefer not to have to do this.
