Fixed my "vintage" Proceed remote control

After looking at a number of screwball YouTube videos regarding remote repair, the link below seemed to make the most sense and be most technically comprehensive. He missed only a couple points that applied to my Proceed AVP remote:
1. The front and back halves of the plastic do not PRY apart. I removed a single screw in the battery compartment and the halves slip apart by gently SLIDING them lengthwise. Prying would have destroyed the tabs holding them together.
2. The back of the rubber "buttons" was some kind of conductive material that had worn out; even after thorough cleaning it still didn't work. It appeared slightly glazed on the most worn buttons. I bought a "Caig" CONDUCTIVE PAINT pen from Radio Shack for about $19, painted the backs of the buttons and its just like new again.
