Maybe it was coincidence but some of hole corresponding to not working pads didn't beep on one remote but it did on other.. Same other way round.. I could see some tiny dots on some tracks but I have up further investigation..

It is very common for one button, or an area to fail, possibly because of a spill. a pcb trace failure is possible, but it should be visible under a magnifier. Also when using a multimeter for checking traces, realize there may be a conformal coating over them (but not the button landing pads). You need to use sharp meter probes to pierce the coating to test. You could try hunk of something conductive (like copper solder wick) and press onto the button in question spot to see if the ir functions trigger.

Re: [slim] Remote key not working
Weirdly 2 of my SB Touch remotes recently developed this problem.. One has not working next and sleep, where other previous and back arrow. I had a look inside to do usual remote clean and possibly foil trick but it seems that pcb tracks started to fail... I checked with multimeter buzzer and there is no connection to chip form faulty buttons.. Don't think I'm skilled to fix that narrow track and doubt there is other magic fix. I bet your remote suffers from same problem if it's only particular button not working.. BTW I have checked on other devices to rule out infamous power supply failure 3x Squeezebox Touch, 4x Squeezebox Radio, Squeezelite (RPi 3B with HiFiBerry DAC+Pro on OSMC), Material Skin Apk, Squeeze Commander, Logitech Media Server Version: 8.2.0 with Material Skin (Docker in DS218+) Jaca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58187 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115905 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Remote key not working
if you mean the little hand held remote similar to all of the other ones (tv, etc) laying around... often you can open the case and clean it. The buttons consist of interlaced copper traces on the pcb board, and the silicone pad (the button) has a carbon deposit on it (usually carbon, I think?). When pressed, the carbon shorts the interlaced traces, giving you a press. all sort of stuff can be happening when they don't work, dirt, spills, age (the copper can oxidize)try to use a pencil eraser on the copper pad locations to buff them up a bit, then basically wash the silicone pad (carefully where the carbon is). Also, take a look at the case that the buttons protrude through and make sure they aren't gunked up which might cause a button to stick. I have had other remotes that "don't work" where I discovered a button was stuck, preventing everything from working If all of that fails, I might have one somewhere I can send to you, not sure, I'd have to look. Are they the same as the Radios? I really don't use them.

[slim] Remote key not working
Hoping Joe Muc or someone else knowledgeable might help me. I have a Touch remote that works except the Now Playing key which does not function(no response on Touch when using button). Tried the obvious, changing the batteries and trying it on another Touch. What are the correct troubleshooting/repair steps for this or is it just a dying remote.

What is the IP address and how did you give your pCP that address and what is the IP address of your router? Almost sounds like you've given your pCP an IP address outside your routers LAN subnet.
