Remote Fixer Repair Response (see below) :

This remote arrived safely and on testing was found to be transmitting as per normal operation.  When inspection the case was held together by tape and on tested with our bench receiver no issue could be replicated. The control was then tested randomly over a 24 hour period again with no fault being found.

The issue is most likely with the receiver itself, the customer is to check the receiver especially the battery terminals, if there is any signs of corrosion, contamination, dulling of the terminals then its highly likely that it has suffered a battery leak.  If it has then we can only recommend obtaining a replacement receiver (these can be found on eBay, only purchase brand new and not refurbished) 

If a receiver is required please head over to https://ebay.us/GR5OY0 (always check with the relevant seller for details)
