GTR start button! another alternative..

The first pic is a touch misleading because the screwdriver is at the 1 o'clock position. When you push the screwdriver in it needs to be at the 4 o'clock

The first pic is a touch misleading because the screwdriver is at the 1 o'clock position. When you push the screwdriver in it needs to be at the 4 o'clock position then the 11 o'clock position for the second tab. I cannot overemphasize this enough because if you pry too hard at the wrong position that would be the only way I could see breaking the bezel. I finished this up in about 10 minutes and it looks great! Repped +1 great DIY!!!

Default Alternative GTR start button

That was much easier than taking the rest apart. Took 3 minutes. Thank you!

This method is great if you want your start button to look like wolverine removed it lol. Just tried it with plastic trim tools and there's marks all over the place. The other method is guaranteed to to wreck anything.

Ok some of it was my fault trying to find the spots that would pop the old one out. I tried where others had and it didn't pop right out. I put the trim tool in around 1 and 10 and it just popped out like it's supposed to. Guess it's different for some folks.

I did it this way as well, using plastic trim tools and I have no marks at all.

But everything in this DIY works and takes literally less than 10 minutes.
