How to properly insert batteries into the remote control
To insert new power supplies into your TV remote, you need to do the following steps:
- We take the remote control device.
- We need the back panel because that's where they are. Turn the remote control over.
- We are looking for the place where the batteries are located (it may vary depending on the model). The instructions will help make things easier. If it is not there, look for signs (in the form of arrows). If there are no signs, try to find the seams. Another difference of the lid is its ribbed surface.
- Open the lid. To do this, pull it up or down, depending on the location of the arrow. Some types of lids are closed with a screw. Then we need a screwdriver.
- Removing old power supplies. They can be finger, little finger or flat (the latter are rare). In most cases there should be two of them, but in some models (for example, Sony) there is one.
- We replace batteries.
Plus and minus: how to figure it out
When replacing, it is necessary to make sure the position of the batteries is correct. One side of the power supply has a plus, and the other has a minus.The device itself also requires a pole on one side and a minus on the other. There are 2 ways to determine them:
- On the remote control they often write which side is plus and which is minus.
- The negative side of the battery is flat. Plus – contact with a small bulge.
Location of batteries depending on the type of remote control
The location may vary slightly depending on the device model. They can be at the bottom, top or in the center.
Attention! Look for a ribbed surface. And remember, the cover is on the back panel, don't look for it where the buttons are.
What difficulties may arise
Difficulties can arise in three cases:
- It is impossible to determine where is the plus and where is the minus. It's very simple. Follow the instructions above.
- The device does not work with new batteries. The power sources may not be working. Replace with others.
- The replacement didn't help. Then the reason is in the remote control.
Changing the power supply in the remote control is not that difficult. You just need to adhere to certain rules.
