Which remote can replace my old broken remote of the philips A5.600

ok, this will be a bit long but bear with me:

If the unit has some kind of light that blinks etc when used look to see if it does or not.

1. Look carefully first at battery connections--any rust/white junk and clean it spotless with a knife or small file.

2. Look to see all battery connections are tight=battery should move but not too loose.

You want to know if voltage there--the batteries are in series like the old xmas lights---with a voltmeter you can check from one end of them to the other--say two batteries you should have 3 volts and each additional one adds 1.5 volts.

Spills happen and are rarely noticed--if the remote gets checked (did you try to use a digital camera?) and is transmitting or not you will be able to check every button--start with power first!

If power, and some or no buttons function you are going to have to take the remote apart.

Nothing to lose if you are careful here, most remotes may have a screw in battery compartment or elsewhere on back or may not have any.

With batteries out look for a seam in side middle that runs all around the remote--these are also usually snapped together--careful prying around will allow you to gradually free the two halfs of the remote.

Once open you have (other than battery space) 3 parts: bottom, a circuit board, and the rubber like pad with all the buttons.

That keyboard mat should slide right off--if it does not when you pull it off it will be sticky on the bottom and have residue on the board it connects to and on its back where tiny round rubber like contacts touch matching ones on the board.

If you find residue--clean surface of board with alcohol just so not sticky etc.

The rubber like mat is usually one large piece with the buttons on one side--if residue there on the back of it DO NOT CLEAN WITH ALCOHOL---OR any chemicals.

Take it to the kitchen sink and with mildly warm water and dish soap clean both sides completely---rinse with water and look you got all the spill removed---you can use a hair dryer but not on HOT.

Once all three parts (front, pad, rear) are clean and dry put the remote back together and with good batteries see if it works.

Check the voltage and connectors first and then with it all back look to see if works.

When you have it apart examine the end of the circuit board as there will be one or two clear or light color leds that send the signal--look where they are soldered in to make sure not broken loose from the side of board where soldered in.

This is my version of basic abc remote repair.

Either no voltage reaching remote.
Spill in remote
or broken connections on the circuit board fixes 95 percent of them.

If the remote was stored with the batteries left in it for a long time---battery connections are not clean etc. ok, this will be a bit long but bear with me: If the unit has some kind of light that blinks etc when used look to see if it does or not. 1.
