John Hedstad's comment was very helpful and resulted in the successful restoration of my volume controls on the remote for my Denon model 1910 AVR.

I used a kitchen knife for spreading butter without a sharp edge to pry it open. I would stick the round end of the knife in the edge and twist the knife to separate the remote. One must be carful not to continue that action where the battery compartment is. First, one must open the battery compartment, take out the batteries and then unscrew a small Phillips screw. After that, one can continue working it apart or it might even easily open at that point.

Take note of how everything is laid out inside. It's probably not what you suspect. you must disassemble everything and there are a lot of parts including the motherboard with the infrared lightbulb attached as well as two battery contacts. Watch out for a small orange plastic structure about 2" long which has two buttons on it including the on/off button. None of the buttons are real buttons with switches.

On the back side, the buttons are rubber indentations on a rectangular rubber sheet. The rubber sheet interfaces with a light grey flexable plastic rectangle with many metal circles imbedded in it that conduct electricity. When you push a rubber button, it pushes on the plastic which pushes the metal against contacts in the mother board. BTW you must also remove the motherboard with a Phillips screw.

Underneath the motherboard is a small rectangle containing the up and down buttons in a plastic rectangle also having metal electricity-conducting circles. Remember, the remote has buttons on both sides. One side has the buttons everybody sees and uses right out in the open and the other side has the rubber buttons underneath the hinged cover. Incidentally, the hinge is just a point of plastic at either end of the rectangle. If you accidentally remove it, there is a slight split at one end. Insert the point with out the slit and then you can decrease the length of the rectangle at the slit end. But I digress.

Once the volume buttons are out turn them over and clean them with alcohol. I just used on alcohol pad like you would use if giving an injection. While I was at it, I wiped the other metal circles near the volume metal circles. What could it hurt?

Put back the volume switch. Also put back the little orange plastic thing that includes the on/off button. Then put back the motherboard taking care to do a couple of things: 1) make sure the led bulb is fully in the hole where the light escapes. You may have to bend the wires holding it in multiple directions (all the bending is just slightly - take it easy). 2) You must also properly place the metal coils for the batteries. One coil has the final coil of the spiral inside the two teeny pieces of positioning plastic. The other coil has the front coil inside the other two teeny pieces of positioning plastic. You can use the coils intended for the other ends of the batteries which are imbedded in the battery end of the remote for reference. But I digress.

Once the motherboard is PERFECTLY in place, screw it down while holding the motherboard in place so you don't have to set it up again. It's best to do this on a rubber mat and desensitize yourself for static electricity before you start. I worked on a vinyl surface and lucked out on the static electricity part.
Then take the plastic window for the infrared bulb and place it sideways where the LED bulb is. It will fit right in. It is symmetrical, so no worries as to which side is down. Take the other half of the remote and put the rubber buttons in the holes using gravity.
Continue to use gravity to your advantage and put the two halves of the remote together holding each piece sideways to the flat surface you are working on. Hook up the LED end first and then work your way to the other end. Make sure that the edges are all the way together. Don't force anything. If it doesn't go right away, there is a reason.

Make sure the battery coils are right. The positive coil is behind plastic. The nipple of the battery goes inside the plastic and connects with the coil. If everything is hunky dory, put in the Phillips screw in the battery compartment. Then put in the batteries, put on the battery cover.
Try it out. It works, doesn't it? I can't believe it either!
