Mertik Maxitrol Remote Repair Details

Manufacturer : Mertik Maxitrol

Customers Fault Description : It may have fallen of the table and in any case had old batteries in it. Have put in 2 x AAA new batteries but nothing comes up on the screen and the fire does not light.

Remote Fixer Repair Response (see below) :

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

This was due to the usual problem whereby a SMD diode detaches from the PCB.  The diode was replaced which restored full functionality.
