Question to people who have hacked a TV Remote.
rdowdy95:
Hey everyone I have a hacked TV Remote to power on TV. My question is this. I have extended the IR and it works great. The thing is right now I have taken the top platic part off of the remote. I also have taken out the rubbery buttons. I have a + and a - wire running to where the power switch is on the pcb of the universal remote. Here is the thing though. I couldn't figure out a way to hold these wires to the pcb. I used black electric tape. It is good, but if I barely wiggle the wire to move things in the cab it comes off the pcb. Is there anyway to keep the wires on that little area of the remote without it moving so bad. I don't see how I could solder these wire because there is no little hole to solder them to like the IR had.
It works, but it is a hassle to push down on the pcb and make sure the tape stays. I have tried rubberbands as well. Those suck.

Have you tried hot glue?

I have not tried that. Very interesting...That may just work, and if I screw up I can prolly remove it easy with my fingernail or something.
Anyone else try the hot glut gun trick????

please take a picture. if it is what i am thinking it is... you should just solder it down.

I will take a picture of it tonight and get it posted. I suppose I could solder it, I just don't want to melt the board or anything.
