Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4878 Registered: Dec-06 | C/P Doing a quick surface cleaning of a remote control is easy and does not take any time or special equipment. First of all read the operating and maintenance instructions of the equipment and see if anything is said about cleaning the remote. If so, follow those instruction and only use what is below if it does not contradict what the manufacturer has to say. Then proceed to remove the batteries from the unit. Use a cotton swab dipped in clean rubbing alcohol to clean the areas around the buttons on the unit. If there is dirt caked or stuck in the small gap around a button, use a toothpick to extract the dirt. Be careful not to let the tip of the toothpick break off and fall in the remote. That will mean a visit to the repair shop to get the remote opened up. Repeat the cleaning with the alcohol dipped cotton swab until the areas around the buttons is completely clean. Spray a soft lint free cloth with the rubbing alcohol or any house cleaner that is safe for use on plastic, and wipe the buttons and the rest of the remote's surface. Use the same method to clean the dust from the battery compartment. If there are some crevices or areas behind the springs you can't reach, use the swab and cleaner here too. That's it. Depending on how your remotes are used, cleaning them about once a month is a good idea. Why not time it with the visits of your domestic cleaning agency so you can keep track of when it should be done? |

Bronze Member Username: SearchPost Number: 70 Registered: Mar-09 | Plym, a little bit of calamine lotion should do the trick. Spread liberally on butt and you should be good to go. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 19909 Registered: Jun-06 | Doreen: The last time I cleaned something electronic, it was inside my computer. The CPU fan had two years of dirt collected. I did try the"alcohol swab" method of yours, but had to resort to taking it out and running tap water over it at full force to clean it up thoroughly. The fan still works! You might like to use this piece of information in the computer section of the forum. |
|
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 15172 Registered: Jan-08 | Doreen I talk about inside pad, if you use alcohol or something like this you will erase the carbon coating of the pad then you are good to put the remote in the trash can! |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 15173 Registered: Jan-08 | Omar Remove the battery then use a screwdriver that you insert between the cover then twist the remote to unlock the cover. Sometime you need to soldered the lead of battery then check also the crystal to see if one of pin is broked. |

Bronze Member Username: ChevroletPost Number: 29 Registered: Sep-10 | C/P from Doreen's above Link not a bash, just facts from people that know. 3. Clean the circuit board The key to cleaning the circuit board is to use the right cleaning solution. You absolutely do not want to use water unless you really want an excuse to purchase a new remote control. Instead, use either rubbing alcohol or a commercial contact cleaner, which you can find at most electronics stores. Either spray the contact cleaner on the circuit board or use a cotton swab to gently wipe off any gunk with the rubbing alcohol. Be sure your swab is intact and that no fuzz ends up on the circuit board. You shouldn't need to dry the circuit board since the cleaning solution should evaporate on its own. |

Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4881 Registered: Dec-06 | ok reading the members responce to the link I posted , I noticed this at the end of the web page ( read below) Bad Advice Wow. The principal article is almost entirely bad advice. The underside of the "keys" on the rubber keypad and the trace wires on the circuit board are coated with conductive paint. When the button is pressed the underside of the button shorts out the traces under it, activating the switch and changing the channel, etc. Scrubbing will remove the conductive paint. Dan Jones has it right. Soak the circuit board for a few minutes in warm water with a little detergent in it. Very gently and briefly rub the top of the board with your thumb or a soft cloth to clean the contact traces. You can do the same with the keypad. You can use a toothbrush on the TOP side of the keypad only. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reassembling. QUESTION ... If you drop your remote in the sink of bath tub full of water, does it ruin your remote? |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 19912 Registered: Jun-06 | Doreen read the Bible properly at last! You see, these days even the Bible has fine print. Chevrolet: Go back to the Bible study class and don't come here till your Sunday School teacher says you are OK. And PLEASE, do not try any hanky panky with your Sunday School teacher. |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 15189 Registered: Jan-08 | Doreen Thanks for the truth of your post! "QUESTION ... If you drop your remote in the sink of bath tub full of water, does it ruin your remote?" No! If you use a dryer or you wait 1 day to be sure that the remote is dry before you insert your batteries! |

Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 15190 Registered: Jan-08 | Why the remote work after you cleaned it with light soap? Simply because the surface contact is not completly conductor, the contact can be over 100 ohms, considering that the pad and the surface board can give a 200 result (not too much conductive), the result of dust or Pepsi short the surface board then the remote converter can't reconize the touch that you pressed! Another thing, many new remote use new Sillicone pad like the new oven glove, sometime it produce a oil, mixed with pad conductive coating bring keys not to work due to shorting! |

Gold Member Username: DoreenakadjCanada Post Number: 4885 Registered: Dec-06 | Nalin.... next time you need to clean any dirt or dust out of your computer, use compressed air. I use "Dust off" http://www.falconsafety.com/dustOff/Default.aspx |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 19915 Registered: Jun-06 | Doreen: I want you to understand certain things very carefully. I AM an expert computer person, and have actually built or supervised the building of over 500 computers in my life. At the same time I know and realize the limitations of a semi-novice, because I have had the occasion to help or supervise the helping of over 2000 people. Plymouth has also had extensive expereince with computer and electronic related equipment. In the case of my clogged up CPU fan, any simple analysis will tell you that a novice or an expert has to open the chasis to see the problem. Having done that (whether a novice or expert) he HAS to detach it from the CPU, unplug it from the motherboard and take it out to clean. To use compressed air without doing this would put a lot of dirt on the motherboard itself. If this person (novice or expert) has removed the fan off the CPU and has taken taken outside of the chasis, then the least expensive and the most senible method is to run it under the force of tap water, and get a perfectly clean fan. I took a trip from St. Catherines to Tiger direct (my favourite computer store), looked at the prices of all the toys that had and finally decided on buying just the thermal glue, came home did the cleaning and reattached the fan. My own knowledge being somewhat rusty, I took the advice of and confirmed that washing under the water was the least expensive way, and that I WOULD HAVE TO buy the thermal glue for remounting the CPU fan. I go about with a vast storehouse of knowledge, take the advice of the people currently doing the job and act accordingly. When I am satisfied about a small sub-item of all these, then I also take the resposibility of advising others in that particulae matter. I am pretty certain Plymouth has a similar approach. I do not go about looking up some unknown source for information and advise people and criticize experts. I suggest you take a more rational approach to advising others. If you have to rely on other sources, you may occasionally rely on some well recognised sources of good information. Q.E.D. |
