DCS Remote Dead

I was searching for an old post with this issue and can't find it. I believe the fix was to connect the remote to the TIU and a computer. That one had a software crash if I remember correctly.

Battery not touching the remotes' connections was an old problem. Easy to test for with a voltmeter and some probes.

You are stating that there's a blank screen, right? Not a screen and no action from there?

What was the exact thing that happened right before you changed the batteries?

Just trying to be helpful here. I'm pretty sure you know all this.

The failures of the WIFIs shouldn't be compared to this issue. They had a poorly mounted connection port. Mine was fine.

I have several remotes, and none failed like this. One is of the first ones made.

I don't believe it's a common failure. A loose transceiver board inside or a broken thumbwheel would be more common.

Software bugs I've had plenty of!

I've had remotes not power up before but that was because of loose batteries. A couple of extra layers of foam tape applied inside the battery cover solved those problems.
