Default Electrically conductive paint?

There is a remote control service kit available for the keypad
conductor repair. This kit is available at many of the electronic parts
suppliers, who supply parts for TV and electronic device servicing.
Note that the cost is not cheap.


Tried one of those on a JVC remote about a year ago, cost around $15
for the repair kit. Two-part epoxy kind of thing, had to mix it and use
it
within 15 or 20 minutes, throw out whatever was left over.

Remote worked great for 2 or 3 months, then the repair gunk started
wearing off, and I was back where I started. Ended up ordering a
replacement remote from JVC website, cost around $20 with shipping,
and it's still working fine.

If I got a do-over, I would just order the new remote and forget about
the repair kit. Might think differently if the new remote had been
more
expensive. YMMV.

If the OP wants to check into the repair kits, I bought mine at Circuit
Specialists in Mesa, AZ (local to me) (www.circuitspecialists.com).

Hope this helps,
