Remote Maintenance


So here's a topic I haven't seen covered. How do you maintain your remotes? With all the gidgets, gadgets and gizmos we have, they all seem to have a remote. 9v, AAA, AA batteries in everything. Do you have a regular battery replacement plan, do you just check once in a while or do you wait until they stop working altogether and then replace batteries? And what about those leakers?

I use specialized springs so when dropped they spring back up. You need quick reflexes to catch them on the way up.😀

I have scrapped corrosion off the contacts of old ones, got em working

I have taken them apart, given the parts, rubber button sheets, printed circuit boards an alcohol bath with small brush, and compressed air dry, worked

my used Cayin came with remote that was erratic, took it apart, ... same. 

Steve at VAS was able to repair it. YAY!

The only remote I use is for the TV. When it stops working I replace the two AAA batteries. Simple! No sonic effect upon the HiFi system in the same room!

I don't have any remotes in my system just one for TV/Cable I just replaced the two AAA batteries yesterday.
