Reconditioning my trusty Harmony 600 remote control to repair broken buttons

Matt
Matt over 6 years ago

The Logitech Harmony 600 universal remote I've got has been in use for over 8 years.. over the past few years more of the buttons have stopped working or are on their way out & I was considering replacing it. However, after one of my kids pranked us with an identical dead 600 he found in a drawer, it got me thinking. That one was faulty, draining the batteries in days; Logitech sent a replacement & didn't want that one back. I could crack it open and switch over the keyboard membrane, and give the thing a good clean.

 

Here's how I got on.. and how to get into the remote (sneaky hidden screws)!

This method could be used with a whole host of remotes.. especially useful if you can cheaply source a faulty one off a site like eBay.

 

It went really well.. the remote is like new!! image

    Hi Matt, Great video that should inspire people to have a go at mending rather than throwing away - there is an art to opening up plastic cases and your selection of Nando's card and other is a good idea…

    Hi Matt,

     

    Great video that should inspire people to have a go at mending rather than throwing away - there is an art to opening up plastic cases and your selection of Nando's card and other is a good idea. I've also found the plastic (side panels or pieces of the screw top) from milk cartons to be useful - being polypropylene they have little friction.
