Been cutting squares out of 'Baco Foil' for some time, never thought of a punch to do round ones. Suggest don't retire, ever  - we need you - Chris

Hi Chris, wouldn't mind not retiring, but I'm getting paid for lazing around, and I'm begining to like it, ah thats life, still haven't snorkeld, waters a bit cold, suppose thats age.......

revising I wrote lurking instead of lazing, weird............

g*****s:
Well silver foil,you live and learn.I have never come across a remote that needed more than a couple of pads replacing,which i find cutting old pads out of another remote or out of the same remotes pad(as most have pads that are spare,ie they dont go through to a button on front so they are virgin)and just superglue in place of worn out ones.But usually just a wipe with a cloth with a bit of foam cleanser on,both to pads and circuit board 90% of time cures problems.Plus check for rust on battery terminals,chech for battery leakage on cicuit board and scrape off.If any sighns of leakage in and aroung chip then its usually a gonner.Oh anh check for drys on led sender at top of remote.I usually get 98% of them working following these simple ideas.

The remote I repaired had some liquid spillage as original problem, and most of the pads were damaged, but these pads do wear out in time and silver foil doesn't, so the remote should last longer than his TV, I hope.
All the bets

Thanks Keith,

Always thought Greece was the biz, 'till quite lately,

We have still got their crap marbles, guess we will sell/return for an 'English' pound or two  - Chris.
