Deflate button on the AMS

Ok I received my implant in Feb. and it seems to be working fine, gets rock hard. Here is the dilemma. I can't seem to locate the damn deflate button. The URO has shown me a couple of times, but for the life of me I can't find it. I am pressing on what I think is the deflate button and nothing. I never thought I would say, walking around with a constant hard on is a real pain in the ass!!
Anyone offer any CONSTRUCTIVE advice?

ivtacres,
Didn't you get a keychain (pump ball) from AMS?
The deflate button only sticks out about 1/4" ... see below image as this is an exact model ...

Look at the sample, it is not super easy to find, but once you feel and it, you will have no problem. If all else fails, find the rectangle, find the middle, and squeeze. I can feel the fluid returning in the hoses. One other thing, if you press and release, it will not deflate, I hold mine for 3-4,seconds.

I have never felt my button. Like crash says find the rectangle, find the middle, and squeeze. I'm about 15 mos. post op now...

I was able to find the deflate button but nothing happened. I found AMS has an instruction .pdf that was helpful to me:
http://www.amselabeling.com/assets/file ... MSP_en.pdf.
Once I saw that if the deflate does not function you can try to reset it by squeezing the ends of the rectangle for 5 seconds, or so, and then press the deflate button I was able to get my unit to deflate.
I'm NOT an engineer, but I suspect that this may also be a possible "fix" for failure to inflate. AMS indicates that if you can't inflate the proper procedure is to press the deflate button and then start pumping. It would seem logical that if for any reason the deflate button is not functioning properly that you should try the above procedure to reset it, and then press deflate followed by a firm squeeze of the pump.
I'm having some difficulty working this all out because my pump is very high in the scroutum, right against the base of the penis, and is very awkward to manipulate. My surgeon is not going to be available for a couple of weeks. When I see him I'll ask if my thoughts are correct on this.

Jeez... If you guys can't find the button, you must have really thick scrotal skin. Maybe you are looking for it on the opposite side. But, like someone else said, looking for it during a good warm shower or bath would be much easier.

I could confirm crash 20s reply.
Im 6 months post op with LGX 700 and did have trouble originally finding it.
Now I can do it in my sleep. I still don't actually feel the button but I feel like I'm pressing on a little tissue cluster in the middle of the rectangular box. The box feels smooth, when you feel a little clump or hill that is the deflate button.
I hope this helps and makes sense
