OP
Quoted from bobzilla:
I’m complelty new to pinball and I just received my first pinball machine. I bought a used AC/DC machine with a lot of tricked out mods. It currently has LED flipper buttons and I’m hearing a high pitch squeak coming from the left flipper button. It sounds like a bird chirping. Lol. You can hear it with the machine off too. Any sudgestions on what to do?

Replace them. The clear flipper buttons tend to squeak.

I’ve used a few of the clear flipper buttons from pinball life that aren’t in the bright mods kits. Those haven’t squeaked yet.

Quoted from fooflighter:
So I got the spring out. I just took a tac hammer and gave a slight tap to the back of the button assembly that makes contact with the leaf spring and the button pops right out. Took out the spring, pushed the button back using a little force to get the ridge back through the hole and good as new. No stress fractures on the button. No squeaking at all now. The buttons are much more responsive and sensitive now and I can flipper juggle and post pass much easier now than with the stiffer springs.
Hope this helps

Awesome. Now put an e clip on the inside of it to ensure the button never pops out.
