Is there a simple way to replace a dead RemoteLinc (won't recharge anymore) with a new one?   Would love to just copy it and not have to program the new one from scratch.  The dead one is also the older 2444A2 and the "new" one is a 2342-2 if that makes a difference. 

You maybe able to use the Link a RemoteLinc 2. Choice in the Link Menu. With a new name. Then click on the old module listed in the Administrative Console and pick replace with choice. Using the now remotes name you gave it. It should change the links in the modules it controls and any of them in the Administrative Console. If it is in a folder it may have to be moved first. It also has to be awake for changes to be made.

I did see a repair post on the Smarthome site I believe. The remote was popped open and a replacement battery was soldered in to the battery connection pads.
