After wrapping the aluminum strip well around the glue stick, we obtain a sort of new battery that we insert into the compartment of the remote control.

This simple solution, which can be done in a few minutes, is really enough to solve the problem and make the remote control work again: try it and believe it.

The second trick to make the remote control work: very little is needed
The next solution is to take a pencil, insert it into the compartment where one of the two batteries is missing and use another pencil to make the required measurement.

With a cutter, we can cut out the part of the pencil that interests us by editing it correctly in a regular pencil sharpener. In this way, the piece of pencil that we received will have two ends with the lead.

This time, you don’t even need to add aluminum to make the remote control work. In fact, just insert the part of the pen into the compartment so that it replaces the missing battery.

Is it really that little for the remote control to work? Oh yes. Just do a test to make sure that our instrument is working properly again.

Both systems are very effective not only with the TV remote control, but also with the air conditioning remote control, essential during the summer months.
