I unscrewed the small screw but could not see how to take the case off. It seemed sealed as one piece. Maybe I had a different remote.

No, you have the same remote. It is really hard to get the two pieces apart. I had to use and exacto knife to break the connection and then force a small screw drive in the small space I created. It then separated and I was able to try to clean the surfaces. I cleaned the rubber pads with Dove since it is the best at cleaning any greasy substance. It went back together surprisingly easy. Unfortunately, my remote still did not work properly. I hope it works for you.

Alcohol (not the drinking kind) also works if you don't have any Windex (who doesn't have Windex - guess how I found out that alcohol works???)

I think it was a typo for "doing". Follow these steps...

You can do it right on the TV.

Great post!!

I decided to use CRC Electronic Cleaner.  I filled up a very small container with the liquid and used cotton swabs to apply the cleaner to the contact points to clean them.  Electronic cleaner basically dries on contact and leaves no residue and is plastic safe.  My   remote works like new!
