Finalization of the remote control


Greetings to you readers.
In this article I want to show how you can modify the remote control.



What will this revision be? As we know, after using the remote control for a long time, the paint on its buttons erases over time and finding the right button on such a remote control becomes a real adventure.


How do you like this picture ??
So, I propose to protect the paint on the buttons by coating it with food or packaging film. I already checked this method, it works, there is enough such protection for about a year of use, then the procedure needs to be repeated.
Well, well, let's start. For fans of the video I leave it.


Tools and materials:
  • Screwdriver
  • Stationery knife or scalpel
  • Food or packaging film
  • A plastic card


Revision process
First of all, of course, you need to disassemble the remote control. To do this, remove the back cover and remove the batteries. In most models of remotes under the cover, a screw can be hidden that needs to be unscrewed. There are also remote control models in which screws can be hidden under the stickers. You should feel the sticker for the presence of screws under it so as not to break the remote during disassembly.

Next, you need to take a plastic card (preferably unnecessary), it is perfect for further disassembly of the remote control. I sharpened one edge of the map.


Enter the end of the card between the halves of the remote control and gently push it forward slightly swinging to snap the fasteners






At this stage, you must act extremely carefully so as not to break the fragile fasteners of the remote control.

Dismantled and did not break ?? Wonderful!!!
Taking advantage of the fact that the remote control has already been disassembled, you can at the same time clean the contacts on the board and buttons.
Now you need to cut off the cling film or packaging film so that it overlaps the panel in size with a margin and in width 2-3 times wider than the panel.

I must say right away that it is better to use food or packaging films, I tried many options for other films, but working with these is best.
So let's continue, it is better to fold the cut piece in half, put it between the front of the remote control and the buttons.



Now the most painstaking process begins, the film needs to be shaped like all buttons. To do this, push each button on the back side, thereby stretching the film and giving it the shape of a button. You may need to go through each button several times.





Well, everybody was pushing, it was the hardest part of the process. Putting the remote.



Once the remote control is clicked on, it remains only to cut off the excess film using an office knife or a scalpel.


Well, that’s all, now the buttons will remain perfect, or rather the paint on them.


By the way, this is how the remote looked at me after a year of use. But there was one layer of film.



Thank you all, bye, bye !!

I suggest not to torment the remote control and not to spoil the card of the sportsman, but to apply transparent nail polish to the buttons. It may not be enough for a year, but who prevents you from repeating the procedure as necessary?
yes, but did not try to wash hands ???

the collective farm is creepy
Long and tedious. Yes, even with a penny remote.
And let the original remote control lie in a box for rare use for customization.

And what's the point of saving it so ???? In any case, he will live as much as the TV (After all, now TVs are not "for life" as they once were ... But they will not live - there is not so much "native" remote control ...
For everyday use, a universal universal remote control for 300 r is enough. which is suitable for TV, satellite receiver, DVD and more. And let the original remote control lie in a box for rare use for customization. There are even simpler Chinese remote controls such as a keychain, which allow you to turn on / off the TV, switch channels and increase / decrease volume.
Yes, he laid it on it! smiles
Private sector. We pack in bags and the garbage machine picks up.

And we have "not in private" garbage chutes already! They banned ... (I was an opponent of such a measure, but, over time, I realized that getting everyone to be tidy would not work ... It’s better that way!) ... Therefore, sometimes packages go to garbage too ... True, only for the one that is "not from the urn", but is going to be removed ... In the urn, a special garbage bag is more convenient - it is pulled out and carried away.
At me - hang! It’s not good to once again clog the environment - if the bag is slightly dirty, you need to use it again, especially in the summer to transport the results of garden production.

I meant packing transparent bags ...)))). Do you remember? They were also erased in the USSR ...
And the environment now, after all, does not suffer ... Our refinery, on the contrary, is chasing after any garbage - it always lacks raw materials ...
And I go to the store for groceries with a bag, I use store bags only if I forget the bag, that is, it is extremely rare.

I never go “specially to the store”! ... I go by passing by ... So is my wife ...
Specially - only a couple of times a month to the hypermarket. (This is when you pick up on a trolley and the trunk is full))) .. But here, pick up a bunch of bags and walk with them around the hall ... Somehow, "not camillefo")))). Yes, and in some hyper packages give free at the box office ...
But packages (if clean) are also not thrown away, of course ... Everyone, after all, has a “package with packages” at home)))))
I periodically take such a "bag with bags" to the car so that they are at hand ..)))
And wrap the kitchen TV remote in film

And I do not have a "kitchen" remote control. I have all three televisions of the same manufacturer. I thought, on the contrary, it was convenient - the remotes from everyone are the same ... But, in practice ...all remotes, usually in the room where the wife watched TV)))) ... I tried to get out of the situation - I bought three more remotes!)))). Now there are six of them on three televisions ... But they constantly "migrate" along a spontaneous path ..))))
But in general ... Maybe because there are a lot of them and the "loads are dispersed" ... Maybe there’s another reason ... But the "oldest" console has been five years old and nothing has been erased on it yet ...
Yes, I missed 2 words. ((
... into the film from the combustion products ...
put it between the front of the remote and the buttons.

Anyone who uses the word "lie" (lies, lies, lies, etc.) -

blum3
I don’t take packages to the store, I buy there. But I use these packages for garbage. Private sector. We pack in bags and the garbage machine picks up.
And about the remotes, they are different in terms of the abrasion of the characters. On the "matte" durable, and on the remote "glossy" wiped at a time.
I wrap in a film from the products of combustion of gas and fat that evaporates during cooking.

From the film from your kitchen remote control you can cook soup-)))
At me - hang! It’s not good to once again clog the environment - if the bag is slightly dirty, you need to use it again, especially in the summer to transport the results of garden production. And I go to the store for groceries with a bag, I use store bags only if I forget the bag, that is, it is extremely rare.
And I wrap the kitchen TV remote control in a film from the products of the combustion of gas and fat that evaporates during cooking. Room remotes - without film, there isn’t much need for it now.
When I see the remote control in a bag - I always laugh! )))) And I ask if their washed plastic bags hang on their rope on the balcony? )))) ...
Wrapping the entire console is fraught with the appearance of some kind of sticky substance under the film. Tested on a variety of materials (from plain polyethylene to silicone cases). Then the whole console is expelled. When only one button - the probability is much lower.
It’s difficult to disassemble, assembly ... It’s easier to wrap the remote control with a film or pick up a bag by size (or solder it).
Well, nowhere are we without any polyethylene on the remote! Looks like a mentality!)) But in fact the question was "streychev" once remotes. True, without disassembling. Stretch does not last very long. Well, for the "life hack" - thanks a lot.
