  1 0 This is so awkward. I have no idea, but I really hope someone does. lilmonster206 answered in Tech Products 6 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Can you separate the button plate easily? Sometimes crap gets under there and cleaning where they strike could help the buttons be more effective. Or you could just give up and get one of those reprogrammable ones that works for whatever you have hooked up ( the tv, DVD , whatever cable or stereo etc) then you have a new shiny remote that works for everything sublevelthree answered in Tech Products 6 months ago | Report 2 comments by sharonc and sublevelthree… 0 0 Thing is, it's every button, and it's a new thing, so I assumed it was batteries, but nope. I guess I'll go with the suggestion to buy a new one. If that doesn't work, though... Maybe my tv's infrared receiver? sharonc commented 6 months ago | Report 0 0 I'm assuming you don't have something blocking where the signal is ( a lamp or stuff on the table?) is there an area of the room you have better luck with? Some of the wires inside could have been knocked loose if you can see if anythings been knocked loose it might be fixable with a soldering iron but I wouldn't suggest this as a first experience with circutry. Theres a bit of complexity inside most remotes now days so new ones are harder to fix sublevelthree commented 6 months ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 Probably a combination of wear from repetitive motion, and the crap that sublevelthree mentioned. As in food crumbs, oil and dead skin cells, etc. If you can carefully pry the remote open and move the rubber/silicone key pad out of the way, you can clean the metal contact points and the back of the keypad buttons with a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol. (Take the batteries out first.) Reassemble when you're finished and it should be as good as new. Sometimes good hygiene is all it takes to rekindle the spark. capicola answered in Tech Products 6 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 When switches fail, they often behave intermittently. This is especially annoying if the failed switch is on an important button, such as Enter or one of the Up/Down buttons. Since they are often-used, they are generally the first to fail. It's time to buy a new universal remote. They aren't expensive.
