    Default Sony remote buttons hard to press

    Hello,

    Not the usual forum for me I have an older Sony crt about a 93 mdl and the remote buttons need a firm pushing down to work. Can you clean the contacts and is it going to make a difference? I thought I read a post recently here where there was something you could put on the contacts to make them work better? And yes I have changed the batteries.

    Hi mate just pull the remote a part carefully and get some alcohol and cotton buds and clean the contacts very softly and the circuit board
    And then get a HB pencil and colour the rubber contacts in again very
    softly and you will be amazed

    Worse case senerio, you can use silicone to glue little squares of al-foil to the old rubber membrane

    Guys, How do I pull the darn thing appart? There is no screw in the battery compartment. It's about a 1993 model.

    TIA.....Leroy

    Reminds me of the time we got the boss a plastic bag full of saw dust and drew a Triumph logo and the words genuine part on it

    Bloody old thing was always leaking oil on the workshop floor.

    its the trumpies external oil gernels "bango joints", got a hint off an old guy once, he suggested boiling the copper seal washers in water and that supposed to make them seal better, never had a chance to try it though
