pushing harder actually does work and im the FIRST to say it
Nobody cares that your first.
His first
I don’t care what other people think. I care so I posted it!
your a noob, get a life
His a noob.
I actually think you’re a legend for getting first. Nice one.
Maybe it´s a Noob, but it works. And it is because an effect of the current flowing throug the circuit; Less current flowing, more conductive surface you need, then you have to press the membrane swhither harder.
As a PhD on Electrical Engineering, I say that´s a nonsense
Thing is hes right…. it works

awesome.
and no it does not work, just buy a friggin battery.
you are my personal hero for getting first
What is a “satelliet” box?
I think it’s French???
Incorrect, it is Dutch. It means “satellite”
No, it’s just more elite than yours.
I just move the recliner closers as the batteries weaken…until I can reach the buttons on the TV itself!
You forgot “flipping around batteries in remote because maybe there’s still some juice left”!
Win! I do this with my remote PS controller too.
me too! and it works!
exactly. you can usually get 2 or 3 more days out of the batteries this way :-p
Fail face
Opening the back, pulling out the batteries and putting them on your tongue, to see if they have any life left.
You can test 9v batteries with your tongue, but remote usually take 1.5v (AA or AAA) batt.
Unless you are a giraph.. giraf.. or w/e it,s called in english, you wont be able to test thoses with you tongue
G-I-R-A-F-F-E. Did that help?
there needs to be a pie piece for “replace batteries with ones from lesser used remote”
I’ve gone months off of one pair of batteries for 4 controllers. It works beautifully.
There should be a sliver for “Smack the remote against your hand a few times.”
i usually try smacking it on the side of the table, that usually works wonders for me!
+1 for smacking the remote
The 1+ Remote of Smacking?
Win (minor correction: its the *+1* Remote of Smacking)
+1. This will keep you from having to find/purchase new remote batteries for at least another couple of months, although depending on how much TV you watch the constant stinging of your palm may not be worth it.
I’m I the only one who noticed that the batterie that commes with the remote (ex. Panasonic or Sony batteries) last like forever, but the Energizer or Duracell you replace them with hardly last a year or so?
(If they lasted longer, they would sell less… so it makes sense…)
My remote has dodgy connections in the battery port. I can usually get it to work by rattling it up and down a bit. I really must fix those springs.
Guilty on all accounts!
My solution is quite easy: take the battery from an other remote !
I don’t push the buttons.
I usually remove the cover and rub the batteries a bit.Works 80% of the time.Unless they’re really empty.
XD
Licking the ends of the batteries works too.
I keep a spare set of rechargeables plugged in nearby. When the remote starts failing, I unplug them and plug them back in to top them off again, and then swap them when they’re fully charged.
Far more often than I’d like, it being a TiVo remote with backlight. I need to disable that backlight.
at least your box has buttons, mine doesn’t.
What about ‘taping a bunch of one dollar bills to the tv so you don’t have to see the starving kids in Africa commercial and then when you go to the store to get batteries you don’t have enough money because you taped it all to the tv’?
1) Push Buttons harder
2) Make LOL about it
3) Learn to spell satellite.
i press the buttons harder if that doesn’t work then i swap the batteries around usually works for a few minute 2 lol
Actually, I yell “Reparo!”
El problema es que la mayoria de las veces el problema no está en las baterias sino en la pelicula de grafito que actua como conductor en el teclado del mando, con el tiempo este se degrada, pero apretando mas el teclado llega a hacer el puente en las pistas del circuito impreso del teclado, de ahi viene la costumbre de apretar el teclado y no de las baterias.
Forgot to include ‘Abandon TV in the corner and look into buying a new one…’
Button batteries are pure evilllll.
You forgot remove batteries from another remote and put those in.
initially i also press buttons harder and than replace new ones.
There’s always the good old wipe and turn the batteries for a better contact.
