I have a serta motion essentials 3 bed remote that kind of got washed... It's been taken apart, cleaned with alcohol, and put back together with new batteries. I have 3 buttons illuminating with no bed response. I have even attempted re-pairing bed and remote. Nothing. Remote serial in photo. Thank you!!
 
Post photo of board, be sure its well lit and focused, both sides.

Are buttons membrane switch ?

Gently heat remote to drive off any remaining water (the alcohol you used
probably had some percentage of water in it). Do this heat over a few hours,
in direct sunlight very effective.

Regards, Dana.
 
I see these remotes sell from 200 to 368$ for something that costs $5 to make in production.
These sellers should be ashamed.
 
The Serta website says the powersupply and remote are provided by Ergomotion. Here's the link to your remote for $139. Less than eBay but still spendy.

 
Thank you for the reply but it was dried for 3 days without batteries and cleaned with alcohol before the new ones were put back in. Any corrosion I saw was "sanded" away with the finest grit piece of a sanding sheet. It's actually "working" a little now but there's still something wrong. It is not keeping in sync with my bed. When i resync every time it's only good for one push of the buttons. Thanks again for trying to help!

Thank you! Bad pricey either way though.

Thank you so much and I'm sorry I haven't been getting these notifications. I dried it with the least "linen" shedding pillowcase I could find and then put it outside to dry. (Was scared of direct sunlight) Alcohol cleaned," sanded" corrosion spots, and put batteries in before trying. It IS kinda working now- it has to be resynchronized with the bed with every use and only works for one push of the button use. However, I'm able to at least raise my legs for health issues so it's"ok" because the new or used are crazy high. Thanks again Dana.
