I've just had a similar problem with an EHR 2080 - every signal from
the controller was being interpreted as "Timeshift" so basically it
was unusable. Again, no way of knowing if the unit or the controller
was faulty. Flashed the firmware with no joy so prised the front off
the controller as far as I could and blew very hard into the
circuitry.

Would you believe it, it worked, so worth a try.
