Well it depends how it is designed I guess. Me I use a multimeter but I have another that I did not have any idea on how to test so I brought it to a TV repair technician
(cheaper than a computer repair store). I just asked the TV tech to test the switches (of course I have already marked them I just need somebody electronically savvy to help me test if the switches are still working or not). You can check also with online stores like the ones in eBay if they have one for sale. These usually are priced reasonably... like cheap.
Usually the buttons are just an interface. These buttons are mounted on top of the actual switches. They have like a plastic thingy that pushes down clicking on the switch itself. Sometimes these become weak so try pushing the switch directly with something like a plastic toothpick. Use a plastic tool to prevent electric shock.
