The remote for our bed's adjustable base developed a bad solder joint at the negative pad on the circuit board, so I hopped on Amazon to look for a replacement. Imagine my shock when I discovered that not only do they not make the original style remote with LCD screen, the compatible replacement remote looks like it came from a Motel 6 25 years ago and costs $179.99!!
I'm no electronics repair guy, but there was no way I was going to pay that for a worse product so I dug out my soldering iron and ran to Hardware Hank for some fine solder and flux. 30 minutes later, I had a perfectly functioning remote again.
Times like these make me so thankful I have the ability to learn and execute repairs such as these. The savings can be substantial!
