Hello all!
New homeowner here, and our house has what I am told to be a pretty nice Gas Fireplace. Which would be great except that the up key on the remote control doesn’t really work.
I don’t really want to fork out the $100+ for a new remote (new homeowner and father!!) and I am pretty handy with projects (though my experience so fas has only been in plumbing and tiling... the COVID bathroom remodel turned out great!).
I do have some base knowledge from my experience as a nuclear power officer in the US Navy (though that was a few years back and mostly operational).
Anyways I believe the pictures button to be faulty and I would like to think it would be pretty simple to solder a knew one in. What I’m hoping for is advice on
a) removing the old button (like can I just pop it off or should i use some other technique)
b) what to order to replace the button (and where to order it)
c) any tips on soldering in the new button
d) any other tips or advice!
thanks for any help in advance!!
