when my remote units frequenly used to die some years ago, I carefully
dissasembled the unit, and cleaned it inside with warm water from the
throw-ups my both breastfed sons. afterwards it worked well, until the next
breakfast explosion in front of the television set.
this particular unit finally gave up the breath when the younger one missed
his brother's head with it, and slammed it into the floor. some circuit must
have misunderstood the treatment.
