Hi,

I have a sony KDL-40S2010 LCD TV, it works just fine. However the
remote RM YD005 is failing again. It works but you have to use
extra
force and wiggle the buttons to get it to operate. Poorest
operation
is with buttons which are used most often, Mute, Volume, Channel
change, so I assume is is wear or contamination problem.

Last time I bought a replacement on EBay for $18 or thereabouts. I
can
always buy another, but can it be fixed, is it worth the work

Al Moodie.

I've opened them up to clean out krud that gets in and it can be
GROSS. Don't eat while using remotes and wash your hands. And yes,
they do work properly again provided the carbon on the rubber button
backside is still present. The goo and pressure can ruin them.
