Customer's Fault Description
None of the buttons work ☹️
Remote Fixer Repair Response

This remote arrived safely and on testing was confirmed to be dead.

On opening the issue appeared to be caused by an apparent battery leack which had corroded parts of the print, in particular a large amount of corrosion was found to be under the main IC (see image).  An attempt was carried out to try and rework the print but sadly the remote remained dead.

After talking with the customer it was concluded that a clone would be a suitable solution. 

Please see the image below for the clone that we can create, please not that the C / F button is ignored as we can only clone up to 7 buttons.
