Lahore: (RightNow) Many people face issues with their AC remotes during summer. Often, the problem is not due to battery failure but technical issues.

Experts suggest removing the battery and pressing the power button for 5 to 10 seconds before buying new batteries. This can discharge electrical charge and make the remote work again.

If the remote still doesn’t work, clean its infrared sensor as dust can block signals. Also, check the battery position.

It is important to note that rust or dust on the remote’s connections can also cause problems. The infrared signal can be tested using a mobile phone camera.

Remember to protect the remote from moisture, heat, and water. Frequent drops can damage the remote’s circuit.
