Harmony remote buttons

[Sinbad]

Has anyone had any success in repairing the buttons on a harmony remote once they stop making contact properly? I've seen stories about using pencils or conductive paint... Anyone tried any of this? Where can I get conductive paint? Pondering even trying to glue some tinfoil to the contacts....

Which model, just opening and cleaning the contacts with alcohol worked for me a couple of years back.

The one I fixed with alcohol was a 650.

Contacts in the circuit board are clean. The conductive surface on the buttons is worn off.
I wish Logitech hadn't pulled them out of SA

I have a spare one in its box, bought when Logitech said they are leaving SA.

Gyppoed it by wedging a bit of tinfoil in place. Can't get anything to stick to the button. Works ok for now

Have bought off Amazon before
They take a customs deposit as part of the order. Customs charge was less than expected so they refunded me. Shipping took 2 weeks iirc, did not come via post office

~R2300 for a remote, eish.

Ja. Oh well.
A thingy of conductive paint looks like about R250, so I extrapolated. The 600 has lasted me about 10 years now if I remember right.

Getting sars refund this month, and a 31 day occupancy of the BnB payment later this week, so going all out

I also have a 600...quite old now and I also have the button presses not registering issue. Will try cleaning it.

Got the 650 too, so far no problems with the buttons.. touch wood. Round about 5 years old now.

That Harmony Ultimate looks good.

I also find myself itching for a harmony hub.

 

[Noseworthy]

I have the 300. Works just fine

Good old rubbing alcohol to start with make sure it's clean.

Failing that...good old foil.
