If you use a little windex, wipe with paper towel and then rub remote on flannel/cotton that is tight you can creating a bit of friction you can get rid of the stickiness. Same issue with Harmony 1100 remotes.

No, screws. Believe it is secured with an adhesive.

Has anyone tried denurated alcohol? It’s a much better solvent than isopropyl. Not sure what it would do to the printing though. I have the HR072 and while it hasn’t yet become sticky, I can see down the road where that condition might start to develop.

Denatured alcohol is nothing more than ethanol with an additive to make it undrinkable. I think both will do just fine.

Yep, a common denaturing ‘poison’ is Methanol. Drink that in enough quantity and you will likely go blind among other potential ailments. It will however add to the solvent characteristics/performance of the ethanol.

Most remotes have a single screw in the battery compartment. Remove then gently pry apart
