CAB-1 RemoteController (6-12868) ?

Buy a new one.   I don't think there is any real fix to that.  I've often wondered if there's a way to replace the coating on those keys, but nobody has come up with anything.

Thank you for the site.  I will try the peel and stick ones first and see how they do.  Thanks again JOHN.

  Some remotes have the pressure contact point molded into the rubber and It would be difficult to put a peel and stick repair on top of what is already molded in.  That is the main reason I like the paint.  J

Ok so what happened? Finish the story.

Mark, it was five years ago, good chance that Laz has forgotten!

FWIW, I've used the paint on a number of keypads, it's worked well and that's the way I'd go.

Thx, John

Hi MARK,

  Sorry I didn’t do the follow up on the thread.  If I remember right I had put the pads on the board where the squiggly sensor is.  It did work but I am using two Cab2 s and use the Cab1 when more friends are over.  They do still work.

I purchased a Kit that claimed to restore these.  At the time I was trying to fix the keypad for a Bose radio.  It didn't work.

While it's NOT the one I listed below maybe you will have more success than I.

I've used the Keypad Fix goop (linked in Gary's post above this one) on several Cab-1's with great success.

I'll have to try it.  Thanks

I actually found this stuff a few years ago and it worked really well.  I used to consider those keypads a write-off when the coating wore off.

I just checked my Cab1 that I fixed with the press on pads…..yes they still work.

Looking at the reviews on Amazon, it has a 27% 1 star review rating. Buyer beware.

I have used it successfully on several remotes.  It too will wear off, but it's cheaper than buying a new one! Looking at my repair log, lasted about 3 years before I needed to recoat.

Doubtless posted by people that didn't read the instructions.   It worked fine for me on a few keypads.

This product is new to me - thanks for posting.

I read the reviews for context.  Some of the negative reviews appear to be as GRJ mentioned, others were possibly due to the buttons being too far gone to be successfully repaired, and some may have been due to a functional problem with the underlying switch.  Overall score is 3.5 stars.  The forum members who have spoken positively about the product are a knowledgeable bunch - I would trust their opinion.  The product is only $12 and can be returned within 30 days - if I had button problems, I'd certainly give it a try.   

Maybe my reading comp ain’t what it used to be, but I don’t see the press on pads listed. I see Laz referred to them in his 2nd post.

Hi MARK,

  I think the moderator deleted it because it was. E bay listing.  The kit with the pads I have is from ONKYO rubber pads.  If you do a search you will find them.
