Buffalo Mike Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 i found out too late that C4 had a replacement program for SR260 remote with dim screen. i have 7 of them where the screen is barely visible. Are there any solutions out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I'm' afraid the only solution I'm aware of at this point is to buy new remotes. PM me if you need assistance with that...be happy to make you a deal on a replacement set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Someone had instructions for buying the screens on eBay and how to solder a new screen on but I would not recommend that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 This appears to be the screen which you can buy on Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001888494870.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKIT Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 That is the correct replacement screen. No soldering needed. Just take it easy opening the remote not to break the clips. Definitely worth the effort to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcllc Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Agree - it’s worth it. I used the instructions @Amr provided in another thread to replace 2 screens. Worked like a charm and my wife has asked me to do 3 or 4 more. I recommend reading that thread before you throw in the towel and buy new. The screens are so cheap, there’s not much downside.

zaphod Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I have ordered a pair of screens on Aliexpress and will attempt to install them when they arrive. Pricing is pretty reasonable - for two screens about US$43 including shipping to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
