I did go to a friend's last night to finish an update on a MX-950 with one of the new Sharp 65" sets and noticed that the remote I was working on didn't fit as snugly and make a consistent connection in it's charging cradle.

I looked at the contacts on both the remote and cradle, seemed fine, no piece of gum (couple of kids around) stuck in the cradle. Took a look at the battery cover of the remote and noticed that it bulged out a little on the sides with the battery installed. I removed the battery, cover fit flush and got a consistent connection onto the cradle with the remote.

Gentleman had an aftermarket battery in the unit so am interested in hearing how your batteries fit.
