A really solid fail-safe method is to open open the case and stick a small piece of cellotape or similar on the button contacts to stop the contacts making the circuit. The rubber buttons are carbonized and short across the printed grid. Conversely, if a button is erratic when pressed, a soft pencil like a 4B rubbed on the button will rejuvenate the contact for a while.   Take your choice. David
