BFM Verine Orbis Remote Repair Details
Manufacturer : BFM Verine Orbis
Customers Fault Description : No function, the remote is dead. It should wake when held in the palm of your hand but nothing happens. One of the batteries leaked and the remote now no longer functions, although it looks fine except for some small corrosion around the battery contacts.
Remote Fixer Repair Response (see below) :
This Gas Fire remote control arrived safely and on testing was confirmed to be dead.
The terminals did have signs of the battery leak. When opened a large amount of crystalised acid was found, this was scraped of but the dead issue remained. Unfortunately when these remotes sustain a battery leak the capacitive contacts of the buttons diminish. This would require and entire PCB to repair which has deemed a repair not possible.
A google search was carried out and replacement remotes can be found here - https://ebay.us/NhxDVz - Please check with the seller for further details.
This item was disposed as per the customers email request 20th Mar 2024
