Humax RM-H01U Remote Disassembly

Introduction

My remote wouldn't respond to some button presses anymore. The contacts became dirty after long use. So I opened it and cleaned the contacts. (I used pure alcohol - please take care not to brush off the carbon layer of the buttons.)

    • The remote has a bottom and top part. They are held together with plastic clips.

    • Don't forget to remove the battery, just for good measure.

    • Use a spudger, prying tool or a flatbed screwdriver to pry open the two halves. Start at the center.

    • The two halves are clamped together firmly.

    • Work your way to the front, and then back again on the other side.

    • See the next step for the location of the clips.

    • The clips are located 3 centimeters apart. The first clip is 1 centimeter from the front of the remote.

    • The hooks of the clips are on the bottom halve of the remote and face inward.

    • The top halve of the remote has indents where the clips grab into.

    • These are all the parts.

    • I cleaned all parts with a toothbrush first.

    • Then I cleaned the PCB and the back of the silicone buttons with pure alcohol.

    • Make sure not to brush too hard! You might remove the carbon layer that is applied. (It's the carbon layer that makes the electrical connection, so it's essential).
