Does remote control break down?

Remotes are everyday objects that we use without thinking about them... until they stop working. There are several reasons for this breakdown:

  • Corrosion of contacts: Leaking batteries release a corrosive substance that prevents the circuits from working properly.

  • Discharged or poor-quality batteries: sometimes a simple change of batteries is enough.
