Disgusting, I guess you're 3 months out of warranty? I never buy the extended warranties and tend to depend on manufacturers to make a product with a decent life-span. Got home from a trip Friday and my Samsung remote wasn't working right. Many of the buttons dead. Called Samsung, no help, warranty expired. Scratched my head looking at the thing and finally decided to risk breaking it trying to open it up. Figured it out by chance, and got it open without damage. One of Samsung's original batteries had leaked fluid (acid?) on the PCB and integrated circuit inside. Wiped the ooze out and swabbed the area with alcohol. It worked by some miracle after the clean up. But your problem seems a bit more difficult. I've never used him, but there's a repair shop by the fire station near the Lincoln courts and park on the mauka side of Kilauea St.
