If you had the idea to just put some tape over the contacts for buttons you want to disable, don't bother. The buttons are not typical conductive rubber keypads; they actually depress physical dome switches, and that membrane is glued to the PCB. It appears that defeating the switches requires permanent modification, either to the rubber keypad or to the switch itself.
Just remove the channel pads
It's unclear if this is about the external buttons, or the contacts behind the buttons. As I am definitely interested in repairing the contacts behind the buttons, I'm hoping there is a IFixit kit for Roku Ultra RC-AL4 ? OR as the last sentence is "... until the panel is no longer in contact with the remote cover." Is this just meant as a way to disable the shortcuts to the various channels? As I don't have subs to most of my buttons, I might use this too, once I get the Left-Right buttons to work reliably again /-;!

I thought it would be nice for everyone to know after you get the screw out of the remote instead of using the screwdriver as suggested and puuting all your muscle into it to pry it apart, well forget all that! What you need to do is just go to the very bottom of the remote near the pairing button and you will see that if you just tug ever so gently on the bottom it will separate quite easily LOL go ahead and try it I think you'll find my solution to be the better more sensible solution after removing the screw from the device! Just go to the bottom and use your hands to pry apart no tools required
