I have not removed the button >assembly. The button assembly is where the problem is. 4 screws, nothing goes 'sproing'. I suspect the friction pad under the thumb button is worn or dislodged. Be sure not to over-tighten the screws on re-assembly. Might be best to send it to DAG, a few years ago (2002?) he cleaned/lubed/fixed my 560 for $50 Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
