Added tip: even if you used warm, not hot, water, waited the time necessary for everything to be bone dry, and all the other cautions mentioned by others, I'd recommend re-assembling with either cotton or thin latex gloves. Touching the contact pads with bare fingers as he did can deposit skin oils on them. Besides being oily and preventing good contact, such human excretions contain acids, which over time eats the graphite conductor, and is why videos of watchmakers and electronic device assemblers usually show them wearing finger "condoms" when handling items for assembly.

Well done, RJ. Simple to do for the average person. Did mine in about 10 min. Didn't even break anything!

Thanks for the tips. I cleaned out the remote as per your instructions and it now works perfectly, after years of malfunctioning. It's like getting a new A/V Receiver. Many thanks.

Hey Mr. Bike Guy....thanks a million....saved me 50 dollars on a remote!!

another option is to sand with a sandpaper a little bit the rubber button

Just tried it and it works. I have an old JVC stereo from 1995. Only a few buttons on the remote would work. Cleaned it up using this method here and it works again. Awesome!!!! Thanks for the video.

Appreciate the clear instruction. I followed along and now have a working remote. Thank you.

Worked perfect. The stereo remote functions better than ever. Thanks a bunch

Just did this on my Harmony 300 remote since the volume buttons were not responding at times. Used a pink rectangular eraser and cotton swabs with 91% Isopropyl alcohol and It worked!! Cleaned the black dimples really well and rubbed down the board with the eraser a couple of times over. thanks for sharing this with us you just saved me from buying a new remote.

worked , thanks a lot :-D , you saved me 30min of searching for a new remote !

I had a Sony remote that was not working, I was just about to buy a new one when I came across your video. I followed all your steps and the remote is working perfectly now. Thanks very much for the fix, a big thumbs up.

Brilliant. It worked. Saved me approx £40. Thank you.

This worked great on my Onkyo RC-AV70M remote (30+ years old). Buttons all work flawlessly now. Thank You!

Thank you so much. I followed your instructions and now my remote works perfectly

OMG thank you!!! this worked and I am not a very experienced person at this kind of stuff at all.

I can't believe this actually worked. First time!! Absolutely amazing. It was only the power button not working, but it's now perfect. Thanks so much!! 😍

You saved my day man. I was searching for a replacement for my malfunctioning remote control then sow your video and was very helpful. Thanks

Thanks RJ! This was really helpful.

Worked like a charm on my Motorola Digital Box HD remote. It took me 10 minutes to do the cleaning. THANKS!!

Thank you so much ! That was so simple you are a star x

Thank you so much, man. Just fixed an 18 year old remote that can’t be replaced. Appreciate it so much!

Amazing what a good cleaning will do! All fixed. Thanks!

Brilliant! The important INFO button hasn't worked for years and I was about to look for a new remote online, or perhaps even buy a new TV. Now it works!

This was wonderful, thank you. I was going to go out and replace my remote but it seems to be working just fine now!

First video I clicked on! 200% SUCCESS!! And I have trouble just changing batteries! Worked for my Dish Tv remote! Thank you for sharing this information!! WOOT WOOT WOOT!!

Tried it on my Blaupunkt 32/131J-GB-1B-3HCU-UK remote and it worked a treat. Many thanks for the brilliant instructions.

Grateful for this video, I did what you outlined and it worked

it worked perfectly, thank you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The volume control on my Sony TV remote would barely work. You'd have to try pressing the volume control 3-4 times before getting any results and then the volume would change so quickly that it wasn't where you wanted it to be. When talking on the phone it was easier to turn the TV off rather than trying to adjust the volume. I followed your wonderfully clear instructions and it worked like a charm. Now the volume control works beautifully, just like new. Thank you again!!!

Great tip thank you squire! worked a treat.

Thanks a lot. It worked excellently well for me for A/C remote.

It worked like a charm, thanks for the tip!

Worked great, thanks for the video!

You just saved me $30. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the tips, they worked for me

This actually worked, thank you dude

It took me 4 times pushing buttons and smacking the remote..but..IT WORKED!!! I haven't had the guide for 2 weeks. Thank you

*Very helpful,Thank you* 👍👍👍👍👍

Just tried it! Placing the center button back was kinda tricky but it worked! Thanks a lot!

My channel button stoped working. You saved me big time. Thank you

I saw your video and decided to clean an old ac remote which luckily I did not throw away. Voila it works excellent. Stopped me from buying a new split ac. I might add that I now keep the control in a plastic bag to keep it clean and fungus free. thanks

Thanks for this mate, i,ll have a go at cleaning mine

Was getting ready to purchase a new factory remote, I hate the universals.. Saw this, and tried it.. Saved me $40 bucks. Thank u very much.

This did not fail me, thank you!

Thank you so much! This helped.

You solved this problem for me. My remote works like new. Thank you very much!

Your are a legend!!!! Power button fixed. Thank You!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the information. It really works and now my remote control is back to life :)

Wow it work Finally it was my bedroom tv control I was so tired of getting up to cut it off when I was about to sleep. Thank you so much 😊

Worked great for me. Thanks!

Worked a treat. Thanks.

Perfect fix. thanks

It worked for me 👍👍👍👍. Thank you x

It works!!! Thank you so much!!

Thanks for this, worked like a dream on my impossible to replace Denon avr remote. Also fixed a neighbour's remote l😃. So glad I found this.

It worked. wow!😍 I would buy another one, but I just watched this video .... thank you so much 😻

Thank you so much man!!

Thank you for this information! Used alcohol on contacts and cleaned the plastic and rubber parts with soap and water. 12 year old remote works like new!

THANK YOU BRO YOU ARE THE BEAST ❤️❤️

I was looking for videos to clean my remote and came across this. When I started watching, I thought to myself: hang on, I recognise that voice from somewhere. Blow me down - it's RJ again. Fixing remotes! Great job RJ - thanks to your videos, I've fixed my vintage bike and my not so vintage remote (Logitech Harmony Remote 700 which had a few buttons that didn't respond - using RJ's techniques made the remote work like new) :)

Before I really started to focus on bikes.

I was pessimistic and totally wrong. Bad ass my man thanks for the video and the help.

Thank you!!!

Your the best to post this video to KZread

Very nice idea i love it

Thankz a lot... From INDIA ..really works 👍👍👍

It worked. Thank you.

oh sweet, it worked! thanks man!

Thank you for this , just repaired a remote that had this problem , didn't realise how mucky they get inside. Again thank you , saved me a lot of money.

Thank you man.... It's working...

I found this video to be very helpful because sometimes buying the original remote controller again for electronics can be hard to find and they tend to be expensive. There are universal electronics controllers out there too but the menu and caption buttons are not always compatible a lot of times. Also the extra features are not compatible or available on the universal remotes. The original remotes are way better to use.

Good info

Thanks this worked real good 👍

This worked on my Sony remote! Thanks!

Yayyyyy fixed.... Thanks a lottt 🙏

I can't believe I enjoyed my Friday night watching a video on how to repair a TV remote 😆

Rubber actually worked for me ! Amazing !

Worked like a charm. TV is five years old and the On/Off button would work sometimes and others is would be challenging to get it turn on/off. Thank you for the dyi instructions.

Excellent video! Thanks. I wish that you would had demonstrated that pressing the key did not work before but it did work afterwards. THIS can be easily done because most cell phone or digital cameras can actually see the infrared light used by those remotes... So just point the remote towards the camera and press the buttons!

Thanks!! It worked. EVERY button works again.saved me £40 plus £30!!! For delivery.

Thank you my friend, your video should be placed in the very first page of a remote control handling manual. you saved more than 20 USD of mine...

Thank you!

Just fixed my air conditioner control with this video. Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks x1,000,000!!! Worked like a charm! I thought my remote was ruined for good but this fixed it!

Nice tip

Thank you so much. It works. Otherwise, it would cost me so much money for such a simple thing. Thank You !!!!!!!!!

It worked! Thank you for your tutorial, sir.

Wow this worked really well and stopped me buying a new set of buttons, thanks very much.

Wow you saved me 50 dollars thanks so much god bless you work for me 💯👍

Thanks guy! Worked great! Saved $10 and kept some plastic out of the landfill. AND, I have a stack of AA batteries I blamed for the thing not working - they might all still be good!

i almost died when my remote stopped working! thank god that this method worked!! thank you sir :)

Mine works great now. Thanks!

Thanks! Worked like a charm! My 10+ year old sanyo tv remote now works like new! Pressure to activate the buttons are feather-light again! Slagged the screw though coz the plastic seized over the screw thread. Good thing it also employs side snaps. Peace. 👍

hi ... its very practical and easy... i shall try it out..

Thanks so much ! I got my 1989 Kenwood home system remote control working now. I cleaned it with Isopropyl alcohol. Hope others will have good result.

Thank you so much for this vudeo; I followed your instructions and amazingly it fixed my remote. The most difficult and tine-consuming part of the process, was separating the remote. Persistence, if I can do this (I'm disabled and have Parkinson tremors)

Thank you for this video. Rubbed down the contacts with an eraser and presto, my power and menu button work again!!

Hey it worked. I did what you show us and its like new.
