I bought all mine when they were on discount.

Richer Sounds have now sent me an original RM-109U, and I can't get that to work either? Only the RM-109U that came with the HDR-2000T works with it (apart from the buttons that have stopped working). Am I missing something? I have pressed the PVR button, and no buttons at all works on the replacement Humax original remote. Is there something I need to do to get it to work? I have no idea why the new one won't work (as well as the two "Classic" third party ones they sent me? The PVR button lights up when you press a button and the led is definitely lighting up as I checked it with a camera pointed at it.

Any thoughts or help appreciated before I go nuts (or maybe that should be nuttier)

It's on the wrong control channel maybe? Does the RM-109U have control channels?

That's what it was. Thanks for the help! I'd totally forgotten that I'd changed the mode (or that you could do that at all) Now even the cheapo "Classic" remotes work too, so I have 3.5 working remotes. Now to try and figure out how to open up the temperamental old RM-109U without breaking it.

Ah, glad I read this thread before blaming the kids for breaking it! Mine has exactly the same, unresponsive fast forward. Unfortunately purchased in Jan 2014, so over a year old. Think I'll have a go at taking it apart and applying something conductive. I presume the origional uses some carbon based paste?

Photos 8 and 9 show the actual surfaces used in the RM-F04, as you say something carbon based rather than gold plated 'fingers'

But not a wet "paste" though!
Well, I fixed mine, after dismantling it was clear that the underside of one button was shiny and the others not. I cleaned carefully with Isopropyl Alcohol which didn't help at all.
So I stuck on a little bit of silver tape from Wickes used for joining sheets of insulation board (had some to hand), unfortunately I can't post photos due to my low post count here.
Now I can fastforward with the best of them!
Unfortunately, despite carefully prizing it apart with non-metal tools, permanent damage was done to the remote - some of the little clips that hold it together broke tiny bits off the plastic of the shell (sadly again, can't post a photo of this). But it works, which is the main thing, and the damage is barely noticeable - mostly one end.

There seems to have been many complaints about the RM-109U. Does anyone have one of these that is a) fairly old, b) been subjected to a lot of abuse, and c) still works properly? Or are they all badly build? (Mine is only ~10 months old, still works - although the "OK" logo has faded). I've set up my existing OneForAll 6 remote - just in case!
