Everyone in the house often watches TV and uses the remote control to benefit from the various functions. However, this does not always work correctly and it happens that the contact is always good.  The consequence is that the remote control does not work and you will not be able to change the channel or change the volume  while sitting comfortably on your sofa.

The first thing you do when your remote control is not working is to check if that is really the problem. This is usually done by pressing the power button on the TV to see if it works.  Once it has been established that the problem is the remote control, most of the time the problem lies with its power supply.

In fact, the problem lies precisely in the power supply of this equipment.  Generally this is powered by batteries and most of the time these are discharged and do not allow the batteries to work correctly  . However, there is a method that you may not know to make it work forever.

Remote control: the secret to making it work forever

As we have said,  most of the time it is the low power supply of the controller that does not make it work.  In fact, the batteries that are usually found in the rest of the device are removed in a compartment that opens by sliding or with a hook. The first thing you will do is change the batteries.

But you don’t really have to throw away the batteries you have and get new ones. In fact, there is a way to solve this problem and make it work forever.  What we are going to see is a very simple alternative that you can do in a short time at home with an object that you definitely have  .

The remote does not function

You will need a simple pencil  . You probably have a stylus at home and now we will show you how to make your remote control work forever in this simple way. First grab your remote control, pencil and also a pencil sharpener and pliers to help you cut the pencil.

Start by sharpening one side of the pencil.  Then you will have to cut the pencil and it will have to be the length of the stack  . Cut it with the help of pliers or a cutter and then sharpen it so that it has a pointed tip. Now don’t put the battery directly into the remote but take the battery you have to throw away.

With the help of pliers, remove the upper part of the positive side to be able to insert it into the battery and facilitate its insertion. It is a small concave piece of metal.  Insert the battery by placing this small piece on its positive side. Insert it well, put the battery next to it and check if it works  .

You will be surprised by this trick because the controller will work again and will not have any problems for quite some time.  Even if it’s only a few days you will have saved some batteries to insert. But in reality it should last much longer than a few days. You can only try it and see for yourself.
