Improve charging success for Logitech's Harmony 885

Image
Problem:  my remote would sometimes not charge when placed in the cradle. Solution: Make the rear end of the remote sit about 2-4 mm higher in it's cradle than the original position. Use a material which is slippery so the remote can 'slide' into place. I used 2 layers of dual-sided glue-tape, but did not remove the upper cover, which happens to be slippery. I placed it as shown below - near the recesses in the rear part of the cradle. This is not 100% fool-proof but from a few minutes of fiddling with it my success rates are much  better than the original design. Granted, it's butt ugly, but that's what I use ATM. maybe I'll paint the thing black or something. Rectangle on the right hand is 2 layers of double-sided glue-tape I suppose the same problem exists with the whole 800 series, and as such, that the same fix applies... ?
