    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right section but if someone could help I'd be grateful. My Humax box 5000 T is working perfectly, Do is the Remote (RM-L08) except for the fact it doesn't start or stop the box. I always press the button on the box to start and stop.
    I have tried some of the tips I've found on this forum - e.g. batteries out, static discharge, held OK & 0 buttons for 10 second and put remote into Mode 2.
    But nothing works.
    Help please.

    Thanks,
    I've watched the first video and this shows how the on/off button rubber is causing problems. anyway, I'll have a go to clean it. I'll let you know the outcome.
    But thanks.

    Yes though the first vid is a different remote than yours it deals with that style of button and how to check if it is the rubber causing the issue or the switch, the second vid is of the same remote as yours but deals with the central buttons which are different, I just posted it to show the opening up and for reference.
    Good luck I hope it works out and do let us know either way.

    Thank you so very much. Bit of a job to open the remote; but after a thorough cleaning and re-assembly the result is a 100% success. The remote now works perfectly.

    If I knew where you lived, I'd buy you a pint. But thank you.

    After an afternoon of gardening in the sun today that pint would have really hit the spot but I will settle for helping you increasing my good karma score. Glad it worked out for you and maybe others in the future who find this thread.
