AC Unit
Customer's Fault Description
Remote unresponsive. Corroded batteries may be the cause as the ones removed were badly damaged.
Remote Fixer Repair Response

This AC unit controller arrived safely and on testing was actually found to be transmitting as per normal operation. 

The battery compartment had signs on a battery leakage and there was also contamination over the pins of the main IC (See images).

After contacting the customer it was concluded that the remote did in fact have a fault as a replacement remote was used to test the AC unit.

The contamination was cleaned from the IC and terminals and the IC pins resoldered.  The terminals were re-coated using conductive paint and also the Oscillator was replaced as a precaution.

The customer is to test the control full upon receipt.
