There is a small blue cap on the commander board.. (50µf 6.3v from memory) it goes leaky causing some pretty funky happenings.. I think it's there to filter timebase spikes rather than anything else.. general rule with these types of digital circuits is the minute they become suspect replace all the tired electrolytics.
Remotes are an art to themselves.. usually liquid damage.. I hate them..
Can't count how many pc motherboards I have resurrected by changing just the one cap by the agp slot.. always edging the rating.. I use 10v instead of the 6.3 usually fitted (and don't bother too much with the actual value) and no more problems.
