Contacts, Remotes (etc.) Buttons Problem

Jun 15, 2005 1 Replies

Hi,



I am frustrated with the contacts ("rubber" type) in my expensive cordless telephone and remote control. I tried everything I could think of. I used aluminum foil "dots" (punched out via hole punch) and a variety of different glues ("super" glue, etc.), but in about a year, some of the "dots" fall off. I bought a bottle of expensive solution (don't remember the name) which was designed for these types of contacts. That lasted less than a year!!! I tried self sticking copper tape. That lasted over a year before some "dots" fell off. It seems to me that the only way to fix this problem permanently is to build a box with a bank of NO push button switches. Do you know of an alternated method to fix this problem?



Thanks in advance, Brad



Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active key logger (spyware) in your PC.



I have had great success gluing things with a product called "Goop". I found mine at Kmart in a tube for about $2.00. It dries clear and remains flexible. It sticks better if you work fast before it skims over.
