Description
Remote Restore® is a simple and effective product for permanently repairing dead or intermittent buttons in devices with a keypad that uses conductive rubber switches - in other words nearly all TV, DVD player and games console remotes, alarm keypads, garage door openers etc.
POST FREE to UK!
If you've had your TV, DVD player, games console etc. for a while, some of the buttons may have stopped working, or have to be pushed very hard to make them work - and it's usually the buttons you use most like "on/off" and "channel up/down" that go first.
Nearly all remote control keypads use switches formed by pushing a conductive rubber pad down onto two copper tracks on a circuit board. This is done purely for cheapness - it enables manufacturers to make a remote with hundreds of "buttons" from very few parts. Over time, though, the conductive coating on the rubber pads wears out, and the switches fail. By the time this happens your unit is "last year's model" and a new remote from the manufacturer is either unavailable or very expensive.
You can, of course, buy a "universal" replacement remote, but this is never as convenient as the original one, and many of the minor functions (setup, A/V select etc.) on the original will be unavailable as the universal remote doesn't have the same buttons (or if it does you have to spend ages programming them!) Remote Restore is a specially formulated coating that restores conductivity to the worn switches and gets them working again.
It also works well on music keyboards that use rubber membrane switches for the keys and front-panel controls - many do. If you are thinking of using Remote Restore for this you'll find lots of useful information on the http://www.yamahaforums.co.uk website; although it's dedicated to Yamaha equipment much of the information is relevant to other brands. There's also a youtube explainer here of a typical repair on an early 80's synth.
Remote Restore® is much simpler to use than two-pack formulas that employ toxic chemicals and have to be mixed and used in a single session - Remote Restore is non-toxic, has a shelf-life of 12 months, and it works just as well - better in some cases. For more information, read the Remote Restore FAQ.
