Remote Maintenance

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.

Wow 50 of them....................?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ok I fudged a little, 49, and 50 in a box I don't use anymore.

This is an expensive remote, now think just the straps sticking up out on a blob of grout. Everyone scratching their heads. How did that happen. God did not make stupid people. They have to WORK at it, to get that way.

For remotes that don’t draw a lot of current I use good carbon zinc batteries Everedy for AA and AAA. This is because they are less proned to leaking which is what has damage so many of my remotes. Alkalines leak, Duracell has been the worst for me. For 9V, I use Everedy Lithiums. I know you didn’t ask, but I’ve found Everedy AA lithiums to be the best for my HVAC thermostats and high current draw devices. Those lithium batteries last a long time and I haven’t been disappointed yet. On the other end, their AAA lithiums, have not impressed me.
