SIMU Remote Repair Details

Manufacturer : SIMU

Customers Fault Description : It's been dropped into the water. Batteries has been replaced several times, but still Not working.

Remote Fixer Repair Response (see below) :

This remote arrived safely and on testing was confirmed to be dead (the included battery was also dead) but when tested with a new battery the remote would flash a few times then die with no response from any button.

The PCB did have signs of water contamination, this was all cleared but the remote remained non functional  A component test was carried out with no apparent out of spec components found meaning that the issue may be with the main IC itself which makes a repair not possible. 

A google search was carried out and replacement remotes can be found here -  https://ebay.us/P9udLm- Please check with the seller for details of programming it etc.
