The volume button works but barely! You have to hit it a bunch of times before it will begin adjust the volume. All the other buttons work fine. It's as if we have over used this one button and it is wearing out.

-   Onkyo RC-649M remote I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY REMOTE. THE UP VOLUME HAS BARELY WORKED FOR THE PAST 9 MONTHS. NOW THE DOWN VOLUME IS STARTING TO ACT UP. IF I TAP IT VERY LIGHTLY ON TOP BY THE ON/OFF BUTTON IT WILL WORK. IF I HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES FOR 20 SECONDS IT WILL WORK SOMETIMES. IT WORKS BEST WHEN I GET UP AND WALK OVER TO THE UNIT AND TURN IT UP! -   Guest

-   I have an identical (649) remote with an identical intermittent volume button issue. However, there are no screw to open the unit. I'm not wanting to force the remote apart and can't tell how to open it. Even taking the battery cover off and bats out, there are no visible (to my eye) screws, snaps, tabs, etc. Ideas?-   Guest
Coyotedave is right. I had the same problem, followed his instructions (there are no screws, just gently pry it open), and I saw an oily residue on the up and down volume sections of the circuit board. I used a Q-tip with alcohol on both the circuit board and underside of the rubber pad, put it back together, and it worked much, much better. Thanks, Coyotedave.
Remove any screws you can see and pry the case open. you will see a rubber pad and a circuit board. Clean both with alcohol and dry. reassemble and it should be OK

It controls everything BUT my F87 Panasonic DVD player.. Onkyo was of little help. I have another ONKYO remote that controls it, but of course it can't control my cable box RC-570M. I just want one of them to control all components, but it doesn't look like it. Any ideas, besides buying another learning remote?
