Hmmm, then I wonder if there's something under the button that is disabling it? Now you have to open the remote. Btw, what is this remote? Where did you get it?

If you haven't downloaded my upload here it is again. With a pic of the remote
I got this remote from my recycling company.
From looking at various Niles audio manuals it appears that Niles uses the stereo to control all aspects of a system and their manuals give no info on programing the remote technically it appears the remote is not supposed to be user programmable

I cant figure out how to do inline pic so i put it in diagnosis folder

I really didn't fix it yet
Since i can set board into bottom half of case
I inserted batteries and use the head of a nail to activate setup and 981
Im thinking of cutting and old button apart from the numerous remote i have access to and with a toothpick just a dab of superglue and put the conductive pad on it.
Fingers crossed

You could try super-gluing a small piece of aluminum foil on the base of the button.

aluminum foil or i wonder if aluminum tape would stick well enough?

If you have the tape already, give it a try. I suspect it will fall off but there's no harm in trying.

Actually I may just put back together It does not support Macro and has
other buttons recessed as well as the device button being recessed.
Look at bottom of pic above the 1 2 3 4 buttons there is no cut out on the plastic for these buttons and the 4 device buttons recessed too
Maybe just modify and existing RDF a little and be done with it

The Robman · Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2022 3:03 pm Post subject:

Yeah, I wouldn't bother with the lower 4 recessed buttons, just treat them as phantoms, but if I were you, I would try supergluing some foil to the SETUP button at least, to see if that works.

Pic not the best but you'll get the idea
I super-glued Aluminum tape to the button and so far its working
I did not try aluminum foil because i knew the tape is a little thicker and sturdier to handle.
I held buttons in my hand,pushed the setup button outward and with other hand i dipped the tape into already dispensed super glue and held for awhile.
After letting go I notice a corner not on so i dipped toothpick in the glue and applied more[
