Title of this Thread was inspired by a discussion I had recently with my 31 year old...... 
We have a component stereo/tv system that I put together many years ago. Separate: Amp., Tuner/Receiver, TV, Chromecast, Blue Ray player, iPod etc.
Way back, I bought a Logitech 600 "multi" remote, capable of being programmed to control all the pieces individually or in an organised sequence.
It's worked fine for many years but recently the buttons have become a bit hit and miss and I commented to our eldest that I really should pull it apart and see if I can fix it.
"Bloody Boomers ! " .....was his response,
"Just go out and buy a new one....by the time you dick around with it and probably stuff it up completely, it would be quicker and easier to replace it......"
Well, after that comment I was most definitely going to have a crack at repairing it !!

First up, Logitech no longer make these multi remotes and if you can find one new, they are hundreds of dollars....not my first option !
So, after a bit of YouTube searching/watching, I found a Tech guy that has posted how to repair these exact remotes !!
15 minutes later and now with a remote totally dismantled, I was able to clean all the contact points of the push buttons, reassemble and the remote is now working like new !!
Very happy that the remote is fixed and that I was able to do it with a bit of a "can do " attitude.
So, what have you fixed lately ?
