First off: Yes, I did use the search; No, I didn't find anything that answers my question.
Here's what happened: I was flying this weekend and randomly I would have something trigger unwanted behavior of my Solo. This was indicated by one of the control apps (3DR Solo or Solex) saying "FLY" "LAND" "RETURN HOME" or another voice indication that a button on the controller had been pressed or pressed and held. Watching the screen on the controller showed the "FLY" button press and hold behavior (green bar growing across the screen) when I wasn't touching the controller happened multiple times.
I've seen a few threads that indicate that the controller buttons are known to stick, get sticky, or otherwise have problems.
I haven't spilled anything in/on my controller, I haven't flown in the rain, I don't smoke, or leave the controller in a "contaminated" environment. I have let my kids fly Solo, so one of them could have sneezed on the controller...
Is there a recommended way to clean or repair the buttons on the controller? I haven't taken the controller apart yet since I wanted to see the collective wisdom of the group here first. I'm hoping to just take the controller shell apart, gently clean the area around the buttons and reassemble. Any tips, tricks, hints, etc. would be appreciated.
