For remote controls that have been properly cleaned out and still

be coated onto the circuit board contacts on the inside of the pad
buttons. Reviewing web discussions of this I wonder if a good
approach may be to mix graphite in silicone glue and lightly coat
the surface of the pad's underside. Anyone tried this or have a
thought on it? Others have used electrically conductive paint (e.g.,
that purchased at auto supply stores to reconduct broken rear window
defrost circuits) but that would not seem to be as flexible as
silicone glue with conductive material mixed in it. I did read where
someone mixed finely shredded copper (from pipe) with thinly diluted
white glue and it worked well (but for how long?). It would seem
that the latter approach would be better if silicone glue was used,
as it is more flexible. What ye think?

**There are some proprietory kits available for remote control
repairs. They work. I've used them many times with great success. Use
one. Alternatively, but a new remote, or find a suitable programmable
one.

Here is the link to a product specifically made for fixing conductive
keypads.

It works... I've used it.
