This tutorial also helped me, so if someone has the same problem, maybe it can help.

If a single button on the remote does not work or if you need to click stronger a button then follow the instructions.

There are several reasons why the button does not work:
The copper plate, which contains each remote, is, for some reason, rusty.
dirt accumulated below the button.
When the key is pressed, no contact is made with the board.



If it is the first case, then you need to open the remote control, be careful not to damage the casing.



You need to clean the whole board with alcohol, then you need to dry it as well.

Also, do not use strong alcohol to avoid further harm. You can use soap instead of alcohol, and wash it easily and quickly dry.

In addition, do not forget to look at the rubber part that can also be washed in the shampoo.



If the same problem persists after cleaning, then you still have the following. in the inner part of the rubber part for the button that does not work ypu put a piece of aluminum foil or something that is conductive.



Additionally, if your remote does not have a LED that signals the touch of a button, you can use your cell phone to check it out. turn on the camera and direct it to the camera, then press the keys and you should see the beam.



if unfortunately none of this helps, then you will have to buy a new remote.
