[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 829983, member: 176256"] I opened up my HDR remote a few weeks ago to see if I could find out why the remote is so finicky with needing to be pointed directly at the receiver. It wasn't too difficult; I used a blunt table knife to press into the dividing line between the two halves and then applied pressure first on the top half and then the bottom half to see which way it clipped together. Once I found which way that was (I can't remember, unfortunately) I released as much of one side as I could, did the same on the other side and then the shorter sides. Sometimes the clips closed up again but I persevered. Then you can see the innards and carefully clean the contacts with a dry cloth. I wouldn't recommend any solvents on the PC board but be especially careful with rubbery button pad as the underneath has a conductive substance embedded and if this is accidentally wiped away then that will make the problem worse. BTW, I didn't fix my problem! [/QUOTE]
