RE: Pronto question (and TM13 question)

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Robin,

Over the years I have dropped many electrical devices in coffee.

The only thing I've ever found that works, and that with only about a
35% success rate, is to put it in cold water for 5 minutes, then dry
overnight by leaving near to a radiator.

Remove the batteries, and do NOT attempt to turn on... Otherwise you
might short stuff :-(

Hi folks,
My Pronto replaced 6 remotes plus gave me X10 control from in front of
TV... then 'disaster' struck.   The wife decided it needed
swimming
lessons and dropped a cup of coffee on it.  I'm back to the six
remotes
and 'where have the amp buttons gone' scenarios.

Leaving its new odour aside its almost dead, the buttons down the right
side works and thats all.  Anybody give some helpful advice on the
following please.        

1: Can I take it apart to give it a clean out in case the touchscreen
is
'gummed up', and if so how.  I found two screws in the battery case
but
nothing at the other end.

2: I've tried reset but that doesnt help.

3: Anyone know of any options on a refurb

4: When is the 3000 going to be available? (wishful thinking there).

Any other suggestions?

As to the TM13, has anyboy implemented these? I have a TM12 that is
going in the bin soon, it alone and its lack of reliability has turned
one coffee drinking member of the family off home automation.  Is
the
TM13 any more reliable, my MS13 is lonely. 

regards, robin
