I've fixed those carbon pads with just a conductive pencil before.

I've found silicone or super glues eventually break away from the aluminium.even though quickest and easiest with aluminium I prefer the graphite powder glues. I guess depends on how careful you are and types of rubber used.

Grate video I was tought to use 100 percent isopropyl achohol to clean the pads always worked for me. I would never have thought to use foil to fix the buttons grate tip thanks for all you do.

CaiKot 44 is the conductive silver and carbon coating that the manufacturers use in the original construction. It is a pain if you don't use it up quick enough because it dries out.

That why I don't buy the repair kit. 20.00 and its good for 1 remote. Next time you open it, it is dry
@winstonsmith478
@winstonsmith478 Год назад
I used exactly that on a remote control, following the instructions exactly and even letting it dry using the optimal method at 125F (measured) for 10 minutes. It obviously didn't adhere properly to the pads because it wasn't long before the remote "came alive" commanding things I hadn't commanded due to flakes of conductive material moving around inside the remote. I cleaned out the remote, cleaned and then slightly roughed up the relevant pads and reapplied. Same problem. Many others described the same problem in user reviews. If I do something like this again I'll be using the aluminum foil + adhesive method shown here.
@garbleduser
@garbleduser Год назад
@@winstonsmith478 The only way I have gotten the material to adhere correctly is by prepping the surface by doing a 2 final cleanings with laquer thinner, and letting it dry completely first. But still, I don't like the stuff.

I've frequently fixed button membrane pads that didn't work by rubbing them against printer paper, a few passes and they usually work like new.

I had my DENON DCD-900 open to fix a recent bug, a bug that for weeks I had thought was an electrical problem elsewhere, due to it sounding exactly like the intermittent scratchy sound that you can get with a bad old potentiometer or other oxidized contacts. Anyhow, got that fixed. Then I checked to make sure that the remote control device was working. The CD player did not respond. So I checked the remote control device by pointing it at my camcorder. Sure enough, it was flickering, thus it was working. Then I put 2 and 2 together and realized that it was most likely because I had not put the CD players front cover back on yet. The front cover has a filter that blocks out unwanted light frequencies. Popped the cover on, and all was fine again.

Don't use alcohol, for those who did not pay attention. I learned it the hard way that it dissolves the contacts. I use a belt hole puncher to cut circular shapes from aluminum tape, it already has adhesive on it. I could not figure how to fix the stripped pads on the board, I've tried tinning but it is hit and miss. Thank you for sharing your excessive knowledge with us.

i bought "wire glue" from ebay years ago and have used it to repair bad contacts on remotes. it works for a while, but eventually it wears off and you have to "glue" it again. Leaking batteries? Yes i have seen them on your channel but in real life i haven't seen them for meny meny years, i even had batteries in my tv remote which had the date expire years ago and still no leak

I tried this but used a weak glue the first time, so the strips would eventually fall off. Tarzan glue worked the next try. You can use the shaving dust from the graphite inside a pencil, sprinkling the powder over a tiny amount of superglue. Gently scrape the graphite with a box cutter blade into a small pile.

Done that too. Buy graphite for lock lubrication. Works greatbut I would use a thin coat of silicone and then put the graphite on that. I didn't have any handy today.

Some years ago, I saw a remote repair sticker sheet in a shop. I bought it. It had black stickers of various shapes on the sheet. You just stick it over the rubber. I thought what a simple repair trick. 2 months later the button stopped working again. I opened it and found the sticker glue has become slimmy and moved out of its place. Applied a new sticker and same issue again. Threw the stickers and the remote and bought a new remote instead.

I used to do this daily while working at the service desk of a well known west London department store. We used to get all sorts of 'faults' . The ones I refused to even touch (learned to ask questions before touching) were the ones that kids tried to flush and those that were used as pacifiers. I used a very weak isopropyl and distilled water mix with q-tips to clean them. It was quite therapeutic and also kept me busy and not on the front of house where we'd often get shouted at when disgruntled customers broke their tech and demanded a refund.

outside the remote issue.. why do these big box store all in one amps fail so often? Every week I see brand new looking models of ALL makes show up in the recycling - I test them and they rarely work - opposite if I find some 70s brand with tuner / amp built in - just dirty pots and sliders ect.

I have a remote I cannot get apart. I think it's welded together. Digital Stream tv converter box remote. I glued foil strips to the Soundesign (sp?) clock radio buttons and fixed it that way a couple years ago. Otherwise, I couldn't set the time. I think I posted a video of it working on my channel.

Nice fix. Gotta try this next time my TV remote controller or Playstation game controller Start button give troubles. Have been cleaning them with q-tips and electronics cleaner spray or isopropyl alcohol in the past, but your method should last longer, as aluminium foil probably won't make the contacts dirty again, like the original way eventually does again, even after cleaning.

Very interesting 🧐. Yes, about anything can be fixed, but people usually don’t usually restore worn buttons on their remote control. It can be worth it, however, if no replacement remote control is available, or if there’s sentimental value attached. Your friend, Jeff.

Hi 12voltvids what would make batteries leak inside a remote control, I have a jvc boom box that's 23 years old and last year I bought a new replacement remote control for it because I was getting pissed off from having to clean the original remote control contacts all the time and the batteries were brand new but yet after two weeks they'd have acid coming out of them
@aaronjackson9882
@aaronjackson9882 Год назад
​@usernameE85 I know removing batteries is a good thing for electronics when not in use, but would their be a problem with a failing capacitor or something else drawing current from the batteries?

@eDoc2020
@eDoc2020 Год назад
If new batteries are often leaking after only two weeks and there isn't a charger involved I would suspect the remote wasn't cleaned properly from previous leakage.
