Another helpful tip is to invest in a battery storage box. This helps store your batteries properly, away from moisture or extreme temperatures.
Good organization can extend the life of your batteries and ensure you always have a fresh set on hand.
What If the Remote Still Doesn’t Work?
If your remote still doesn’t work despite all efforts, there are temporary solutions. You can test the infrared signal with your smartphone.
Simply point your smartphone at the remote, press a button, and check if the LED lights up on your phone’s camera. This will tell you if the remote is emitting a signal.
Regular Cleaning: An Added Bonus
To extend battery life, remember to clean the inside of your remote control. Dust and dirt can build up and cause contact failure.
Use a soft cloth and some isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue over time.
