Bedroom Light

Upon returning home from up north this past Sunday I found that the microwave’ clock was reset and the ceiling fan / light in my bedroom would no longer turn on. This light/fan combo is controlled via an RF remote which triggers some things on a receiver board to set the fan speed, turn it on and off, etc.

If I can’t readily identify a bad component on the board I think I’ll just replace it with a dual wall switch (one for fan, one for light) and a on-on toggle switch, limiting the fan’s settings to low and high, always in reverse mode. I never use forward mode, and I either want the fan blowing slowly while I sleep, or really fast to stir air around before going to bed.
