Many IR remote controls have rubber buttons which have some kind of conducting material on the backside of them. When a button is pressed this conducting material is pressed onto the pcb to make a contact. Does anybody know what this conducting material is ? (some kind of carbon or what?) Many of the buttons on my SONY remote control does not work very well anymore and I have been told that this is a common problem (at least for SONY IRs). I could get replacement buttons for my remotecontrol (~ $30) but I would like to know if somebody has any experience how to replace the old conducting layer on the backside of the buttons.
