JP1 Remotes

Now that I've had some time and have actually been using the replacement Xsight, I've discovered that a few of the keys on the directional pad are having a problem - at first I thought they weren't working at all but then discovered they will respond if I press them very hard (although they "click" with normal pressure).

Can they by cleaned underneath by spraying tuner cleaner in them (do they still make that?) or something? Probably not a good idea I guess.

Are the Xsights prone to issues, or have I just been unlucky? I was trying to get away from the older URCs I was using because they all seem to get flaky, now I have two Xsights malfunctioning, one of them brand new and the other used but perfect cosmetically.

Thanks!

I think the first remote going bad was a fluke. I don't know if this one was used or not, but my buttons start to get like that after a couple of years of use. So it's possible they already had a lot of mileage on them.

I haven't found any way to fix the buttons unfortunately. The contacts are sealed metal domes, so you can't really get inside to clean them.

Yes, it was used, but it was perfect cosmetically, so I figured it'd be ok.

Let the buyer beware!

Thanks.
