   Sorry I can't answer your question directly, but a friend and myself
managed to resurrect a remote that had 'worn' buttons.  We were in a
rush, so it was a quick-and-dirty fix, but it worked.

   We took an antistatic bag (since it was conductive) and cut one side
(layer) of it to the shape and size of the remotes button pad.  We then
sandwiched the piece between the pad and the pc board and reassembled the
remote.  The buttons would then push the layer against the pc board, closing
the contacts.

   It worked good.  Almost too good.  It was sensitive enough that if
you simply shook the remote, sometimes it would misfire...  :)

   The problem with doing something right the first time is that nobody
   appreciates how difficult it was.
