    This really worked! I tried all the cleaning of the buttons and circuitry before, but it was that little bit of foil that made all the difference. Thanks for the great tip.

    Cool, just did my two old Panasonics, didn't have to use the foil, a good clean under the water for the rubber and some alcohol on the PCB did the trick. No damage either, but they were a pain to get apart.

    Thank you for the tutorial. Fixed my yamaha remote. The foil was the key. I'd tried cleaning with alcohol wipes previously... Foil makes a good contact.

    Success! I was recently gifted an older flat screen that I attached a chromecast to for screencasting youtube (otherwise I don't watch TV or other streaming services). Only hiccup was an unresponsive "volume up" button in the remote ("volume down" worked fine).
    Fresh batteries didn't solve the issue so I thought I would crack it open and see a broken circuitboard or something...was delighted to see nothing apparently wrong and have it working 100% again with a little alcohol wipe down! Thanks for the tip!

    This actually worked. I didn't go to the extreme of washing in sink. Just brushed all rubber parts with damp paint brush. Its actually the silver paper bit that fixes the power button .... but hey it worked and Lg TV now operative again. So excellent.

    @Jvavolerpareil Před 5 lety +8

    Very good tutorial. Short and clear procedure. Just a comment about this: I used to repairs a bunch of repair like this (maybe around 100 or so) 9 times over 10 it's NOT necessary to add a foil over the none-responsive button.. Just a cleaning is OK. But some remotes as a grease layer that is thick enough to cause more problems that it supposed to prevent and sometimes, alcohol is not enough. In this case, try using WD40 and finish the job with alcohol or acetone. It very important to remove any trace of oil on the carbon pads on buttons AND the board.

    Thanks soo much been 'adapting' for ages as one by one buttons stopped working...starting with the 'ok' and 'on'! Told to buy 'carbon pads'?! But your method has worked... so chuffed as totally not technology minded or interested!!

    @sweetbeat7 Před 2 lety +1

    ((Tip: don't eat food with oily hands then start pressing oil into the buttons and should work for longer 💯🤦🤗))

    @xrayban2 Před 4 lety

    Thanks, I had to do all the buttons (arg) of a big remote but it worked. Does it last ?
    And what was on the buttons before, some carbon powder ?

  • @MoonLiteNite
    @MoonLiteNite Před 6 lety +3

    Worked for me.
    For some stupid reason, i thought the remotes worked with the pressure change, not completing a circuit. Didn't know the little black pads were conductive!
    Only key i use on my remote is the power, and after 9 long years the little pad is all worn down. So i just removed one of the other good pads and glued it over to the power :)

    Great Scott!!! After cleaning of PC Board I super-glued a piece of foil to the ON/Off button and it's working like a charm again. Such a helpfull video clip with easy to follow steps. Saved me from buying a new remote. 10/10

  • @nesrinamin8579

  • @hanssmit9697
    @hanssmit9697 Před 4 lety +2

    THIS WORKED!!! Especially the last step of gluing small portions of al-foil on the unresponsive buttons. You can use a hole punch to create nice circular portions of al-foil. Isopropyl alcohol (contact cleaner) is good for the circuit board. Saved my $500 Topfield PVR from the re-cyclers!
