Hi Cindi - I think maybe circuits boards are painted with liquid copper - so good luck finding that, ha. Have you checked ebay for your remote. There are a few people (companies) on there that specialize in selling old remote replacements. I've bought a couple there for devices of companies that were long outta business. They're usually really cheap too. I would think there's got to be a way to mechanically lower the bottom of your bed? Maybe a bolt that you turn with a wrench or something? But then I dunno for sure. I guess all that blood rushing into your head would cause some really weird dreams, lol.
