Worked like a champ!

So that seems to be a problem with these remote controls over time. It got to the point where some buttons didn't work at all, while others required all your strength to activate. These remotes are also older Bose systems so looking for a used one might run into the same problem. Enter the Bose remote control button repair kit! Very easy to install. The new digital pads sit between the simulated rubber buttons and the circuit board underneath. The kit is simply plugged in between. It only took…

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Highly recommended! It's easy and it works!

What a joy to be using our Bose remote again! The old one stopped working three years ago, and new ones range from $90 to $120. When we found this repair kit we thought why not give it a try. Although we were hesitant and inexperienced in such things, we just watched the video and got into it. It turned out to be very easy and worked great. I think this is the best product I have ever bought from Revain and definitely worth the money. I highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Smart solution to fix my old Bose remote!

The remote for my 20 year old Bose system gradually failed over the years, at one point I even bought a replacement remote about ten years ago only to find that one of these was suffering from aging. This repair kit seems to be the perfect solution. The hardest part was actually opening the remote control, I had to watch YouTube videos several times to observe the technology. Installation is very easy and the remote works like new again! This could save me the expense of buying a replacement…

Pros
  • Brilliantly done
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

They work!: Remotes and accessories

My AC thermostat is as old as the world, the only problem with it is that the temperature increase and decrease buttons just wouldn't work every Times. I installed one of those "dots" on the board where the buttons made contact and now it's like new! These dots don't stick to the carbon-rubber buttons, they stick to the circuit board, they "hang" on an adhesive backing sheet, and when you press the button, the dots are also pressed against the circuit. You use sharp scissors to cut out a small…

Pros
  • even old fashioned
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was

Repairing an old thrift store TV remote

I used this to repair an old thrift store TV remote I bought at a thrift store (brand random, not angry). The pattern on my remote was different so I cut out each circle and attached them to the circuit board one at a time. There weren't enough pads to fix every button on the remote, but not all of them broke initially, only those that were actively used. The remote is now working properly again and I can control the volume and VHS playback from my couch. Note that these pads were slightly…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

Works to repair all remotes especially old GM car remotes

I've had several GM remotes that only worked if you pressed the buttons as hard as possible. This repair kit worked great to fix them. To repair, simply clean the removed circuit board with alcohol or lighter fluid. Using a repair kit, cut out the contact point, leaving slightly more area around the point than the point itself. A small square cut works well. Remove the glue from the dot, place it on the PCB pins and press to stick. I punctured all the PCB pins on the consoles.

Pros
  • Remotes and accessories
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

May not solve your problem

I wish I'd had the same experience as everyone else - a Bose remote that magically works like new again. But I didn't. My remote only seems to work within 3-4 feet of the stereo. (We use it for home theater with our TV. Who the heck wants to get off the couch to adjust the sound, right?) Bought this repair kit and followed the tutorial video on 't'. No improvement. Just in case, I changed the batteries again. Nada. Luckily it wasn't expensive so I think the game was worth the money spent. My…

Pros
  • Remote controls
Cons
  • Out of fashion
