Glow Worm Remote Repair Details

Manufacturer : Glow Worm

Customers Fault Description : Works correctly for a short time, a few hours, with new batteries But after ~ 1-2 hours screen will briefly come on showing just white, at random intervals, and it will not show a proper screen or respond to keypresses When this happens Batteries are drained

Remote Fixer Repair Response (see below) :

This boiler remote control arrived safely from Dorset and on testing was found to have erratic functionality.  On opening the voltage regulator was found to have corrosion on its pins from an apparent battery leak, the regulator and one of the terminals replaced.

The remote was then tested over a 24 hour period with no further issues being replicated.
