    There's really nothing to a remote, open it up and see if there's anything obvious. If you have access to IPA solvent use that and a rag to clean it.

    Check that there's no broken components.

    Also check that the battery connections are located properly.

            theres a link at the bottom of the forum (big advert) for dreamboxmagic.co.uk and they sell replacement remotes

                Had one replaced for a 7025 last November, It was eleven months old at the time too.

                A lot of people do not realise the remote is also included in the guarantee
