Customer's Fault Description
Hi, I spoke to you not so long ago about this remote and you said it was a common issue with these remotes.
<br /><br />
1. The battery is always flashing.<br />
2. In the background the screen flickers.<br />
3. The connector wire to the battery snapped, I used some tape to join it temporarily but really could do with replacing (I've added the replacement wire) or at least soldering back on.<br />
4. Inside a metal connector came off the circuit board, I did a quick fix by soldering it back on but feel its come off again because the remotes stopped working again.<br />
Remote Fixer Repair Response
This fire controller arrived safely and on testing was confirmed to have a faulty battery level indicator. This was due to the 7133 regulator being faulty. A replacement was fitted as well as a new battery lead fitted and the aerial was disconnected at one end. The aerial (black wire) is only connected at one end.
Full functionality was restored.
