finger to keyboard and composed:

I have an Akai TV (Model CT-2167AT) which I've had for 11 years. It's still
working 100% and I want to keep using it as I'm happy with it - furthermore
it was a gift from my parents. The only problem I have is that some buttons
on the remote are no longer working, and I'm pretty certain it can't be
properly fixed.

I've had it fixed one time in the past and it didn't work for long
afterwards. I could cope without the remote but the buttons on the TV are so
small that it's just to difficult to operate it without the remote. I tried
a couple of universal remotes but they didn't work. Can anybody suggest
something to fix this problem without changing the TV.

My results a

Supertel/Protel/Minitel 227
Easytel 2331
ST01 205

The Pilot P1608 remote control is available from WES Components (sales
at wes dot net dot au) for AU$18.50 (trade) plus $6 postage. Just be
aware that these remotes may not have all the functions of the
original.

Another solution is to program a learning remote from your original.
However, you may need to dismantle your original remote and operate
the faulty keys with a good section of your rubber keypad.
