My superjack vbox II remote stopped working after 18 months, and now looking for a replacement remote.

Anyone no longer using his vbox willing to sell the remote?

Have you taken it apart (drop onto wooden floor from 1.5m)

and cleaned the internal rubber pads and carbon tracks underneath ?
 
^^^^ or thrown at you by your second wife.

That's how I discovered how to avoid all that uncertainty about where the retaining tabs might be.
 
I have a Vbox somewhere, cant remember if i have a remote for it or not as its been years since i last saw it. I will have a look to see what i can find.

Done. It was enough to ask my landlady if she wanted to crush my head a little bit with the remote...

Everything was really clean. Just 18 months of life, never opened before, etc. But I found some kind of rubbish on the upper right part (no idea where it came from, as the signal hole in the the middle). Cleaned that a bit with my nails and... it is working again! Thank you mate.

Really appreciated! Let's see how long it will last, but not needed yet :)
 
Well, it only lasted for one day! It is not working today again. Nothing else to clean inside... so I guess there must be some other problem with this remote.

If by any chance it appears, let me know!! I found one in a german shop, but with crazy delivery costs in the end it is around 30 pounds. Too painful for such a prehistoric remote.
 
Check for dry joints. Probably what is causing it.

Also, check if it's the remote that's at fault - point the transmitting end at a camera and you should see the IR light pulsing if it's sending anything.
 
Sorry, what are dry joints?

I truly think it is the remote, because it actually worked again after touching it a bit the other day. When I look at the transmitting end with my eyes, nothing happens when I press buttons (there is light in other remotes of the same kind, like the azbox one). But didn't understand what you meant with pointing it "at a camera"
 
Dry joints are hairline cracks around solder points which cause intermittent connections. A blob of fresh solder on them will fix it.
