JP1 Remotes

Graham, it's wonderful to see that you are healing. Take it easy and take care!

Ouch! Graham, best wishes for quick treatment and recovery.

I was just looking for something under Sony TVs and noticed that in the list is a Westinghouse TV and two RCA TVs. Perhaps misclassified for a reason, I don't know.

... No overload, either a wire has a short (even the smallest tag end of wire can cause it) or a speaker has shorted. A bad element in the speaker might be replaceable. Wires can be replaced.

Well, it definitely looks like the amp is OK. There was one questionable speaker wire possibly munched on ...

LOL. Both :)
I wrote it like that because the description of the Electronics forum says "... and you're willing to do the repair yourself,..." which I wasn't willing to do.

I'm slowly following Steve's advice. The receiver hasn't overflowed with all but optical cables pulled.
Speaker wires have no ...

No, I am not willing to repair myself, but thought I'll ask here anyway.

SA-HE100 Panasonic AV Control Receiver. Bought in 2004.
Suddenly it broke few weeks ago.
After some time being on, display keeps saying OVERLOAD.
At first I thought it might be when muting. Nope.
Then the B speakers with some ...

I don't use Slingbox, but this might be of interest to people who do:

Understood. Thanks Rob

I mean how to clean the little black backs of physical buttons that touch the gold traces on the PCB.

If I clean the buttons with USP alcohol will that be ok?
I read someplace that acetone (nail polish remover) can be used - true? false?

Why would the buttons not work in a remote that was hardly used? It even got sticky on the outside while in a box. I cleaned that off with rubbing alcohol.

I have ...

Rob,
DeoxIT sounds great. I need it for a radio with crackling volume wheel.
Is it OK to use for the buttons inside? Amazon description talks of metal to metal contacts.

That button repair stuff (your 3rd link) is beyond my skill level.

Oh boy!
Rob, I don't have any contact cleaners.
Can I use rubbing alcohol or is it too dirty?
I do have few drops of USP alcohol. Will that do?
Don't know what contact maker is

Now I have to find Tommy's instructions how to crack it open. I did it once but need a reminder. It wasn't easy on 6131.

Many thanks. I completely forgot this. It's been a long time since I had to delete upgrades.

I normally change setup to 0000 when I kill a device to replace the red invalid number.
But some device won't let me do it. What numbers to use?

Old and hardly used. Just unarchived. Exact number is URC-9811B00.
Problem: VOL- and Mute buttons don't work. I made keymoves to some other buttons where at least they work. But VOL- won't repeat there.
Is the only solution to open it and somehow or other clean the keypad?
