I could have just used a eraser to clean the black contact point of
the rubber pad instead of cutting out another spare black contact from
the same rubber pad and placing it beneath the volume button but
anyway the volume control on my remote is working fine only that the
volume buttons protrude out slightly due to the two layer of rubber
pad.
I have a remote control(Pioneer audio video programmable remote
control unit) for the Pioneer VSX-D752S Audio/Video Stereo Receiver.
It is not working that is I can't switch it on and the on light does
not light up and the batteries are new ones check the voltage is OK.
Does anyone know how to open or pry the casing apart? There's only one
screw which I have already removed but I can't get the casing off.
How to open the remote control casing?Do I have to use a knife or
screw driver to force it open? What's the catch?

You will have to purchase a replacement factory remote, the pads are not
available ..... just as the "factory" advised you.
As an alternative you can try some local repair shops, most of them have a
"box" of used remotes that are for sale.... maybe you will get lucky they
will have what you need.

I've never used it myself, but saw mention recently of a repair kit of some
sort for these. Check http://www.matelectronics.com and maybe what they
have will work...?
