What's inside this IR remote control?
I need to put a lanyard on a small remote control. It will get lost unless it's on a string. Here's a picture of the kit. http://preview.tinyurl.com/2lnex6 The remote is credit card-sized and thin. There is a lithium cell in a slide tray in the lower edge of the remote, so I figure that a to the side of the battery tray should be OK. I want to drill a small hole (1mm ) about 3mm in from the lower left (or right) corner. Comments? Mom 92 and is wheel chair-bound. I've just set her up with a iPod with her favorte 200+ opera selections on it. It's in a Bose SoundDock. Ain't technology wonderful. They have a long way to go with the human factors design for old folks. It's amazing how complex Bose can makle a 6 button remote. Don't get me started. Thanks. -- a d y k e s @ p a n i x . c o m Don't blame me. I voted for Gore. A Proud signature since 2001 |

I would cautiously grind off the corner until you can see inside. I imagine its the sort of remote that a "universal" one would not work on. Perhaops try a few "universals" first and then you would not have to be so cautious if one worked. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

I've got the same problem with a remote lock/unlock remote for my van. The keychain tab broke off. I plan to use something glued to the back of it to attach to the keychain. I had in mind perhaps the pads which are sold to glue on an anti-theft cable for various equipment.... jak |

That stuff stinks worse than any epoxy I've ever used though so use it in a well ventilated area. |

If you are handy you could mill out a large chunk of plexiglas block to
house the mini remote and at an angle, drill and place larger pegs to act as button extenders. I have thought of doing same on one of my remotes where I keep hitting the wrong buttons.

How about putting it in a clear plastic credit card protective sleeve ? you
can then attach a string to the sleeve......... Pete |
