Remote TV replacement

Philippines
November 17, 2020 11:46pm CST
I noticed that my mom's colleague who used to watch tv in the living room, no longer watches. I thought he got bored after watching the final results of 2020 election. But when I went there to watch tv while having breakfast, i noticed the remote doesn't work. I thought it was batteries, so I bought a new remote instead. This is like the sixth time I had remote replaced. Have a nice day

Your mom's colleague watches TV at yours? He doesn't have his own? And just stop watching just because the remote doesn't work? I don't even know what to say... Just like my mom's remote tv. It got broken so often because her grandchildren love slamming it. Have a nice day too

@Cheyee he didn't break it. Just got his saliva on. Like plenty of time. So gross too. What's tasty about a remote? Guess us adult would never understand. But don't underestimate a toddler strength. Lil Bro smashed my aunt's car dashboard once. He's not even six back then. Dad had to replace it.

One time I had that problem with the remote control so I opened it and rubbed a pencil eraser on the contact points inside. After that, the remoter control functioned again.

@Letranknight2015 It’s good that you have not thrown it away and I hope it functions again after you do what I did.

They seem completely different. Don't you think you need the same kind of remote to work with your tv?

I am reluctant to buy new remote since I have bought one that really wasn’t compatible with our tv. So far my remote control are still working at some point the power button is not working but the volume and others are still working.

He came to your house to watch your tv? Even stopped when the remote wasn't working. What an interesting fella...

Hello @DianneN Well, I shared our internet and netflix with him so he could watch that even though there's no tv.

Six times replacement is too much. I would be annoyed. What's the actual reason for them not working??

As long as the tv works I would buy new one, this tv had been with us for a while @arunima25

@Letranknight2015 But if it's so frequent it might add up to a lot of cost. I hope this one lasts long
