Thanks for this; it helped me use one of your kits to repair my KX-TGA660 handset. Viewers may want to have a look at your 680 video to see explicitly how to put the new membrane in. It was slightly tricky to get the battery charger contacts back in correctly; one of them required significant pressure to fit in its alignment grooves. My keypad and PCB were covered with a thick layer of grease. The keypad was easy to clean with warm water and a bit of Dawn detergent in the sink. Getting the grease off of the PCB with just 70% iso on a lint-free paper towel took a bit of elbow grease and several passes. The PCB looked kind of dull afterward, but clean and dry. After reassembly, the phone works just fine. Fingers crossed it continues to do so. My problem had been that, intermittently, the phone would just not respond to any keypresses, or sometimes just repeat a keypress endlessly. So far it's working fine, after the fix. -Tom
Thanks for taking the time to create this video. We have five KX-TGA660 handsets, and my wife had abandoned one of them because she claimed that some of the number buttons did not work properly. I took that unit apart, thanks to this video, cleaned up the contact points a bit, and now it's working just as well as the other handsets. Thanks, again.
It's weird that this handset doesn't have a full factory-reset/erase setting. Chatted with Panasonic and they were like "oh, did you deregister?" And I said "Yes..." but it clearly had stored settings in it still. So I was like "So it doesn't have a factory reset?" and they were like "no..." and I said "Well, I'm going to take it apart and destroy all the chips inside." and he said "Panasonic does not recommend customers take our products apart..." and I was like "okay...." And proceeded to break out the vice grips. No chips now. Thanks for the great teardown!
lol sorry i did not knew that. thanks anyways for sparing your time just last question where shall i go to fix that will panasonic charge me or shall i do it at a local shop

Thank you. I am about to resurrect two hand sets following your very clear directions.
Hi , I got same model , 1 of handset display colour has become too dim , is there any way to fix it . Thank you
Thank you, you just saved me the cost of two handsets!
This video tutorial is spot on. Thank you.
Thank you, that was a great help, my phone is working ok now. :)
You didn’t get the rubber keypad out
by mistake i removed the speaker wire how to fix taht i pulled it hard so i dont know where to position the wire ...! thank you
Look at 3:12 The location the speaker should be soldered to is pointed out
Ben J that point is soldered well but problem is in the other side . i tried sticking it with fevi quick but still no luck
You cannot glue electrical connections. Any glue will have to be removed and the wires soldered with a soldering iron.
lol sorry i did not knew that. thanks anyways for sparing your time just last question where shall i go to fix that will panasonic charge me or shall i do it at a local shop
Panasonic will not even do it. You just need to find someone who knows how to use a soldering iron.
