Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 2Original post

You could try restarting the processor in the remote. To do this, remove the remote battery, and insert it reverse polarity (wrong way up) for 2-3 seconds, and then put it back in the right way.

POST 3Original post

I am also having similar issues. Bought a batch of 2032 lithium batteries but little to no improvement. Bought some duracell batteries to see the difference, none seen. However, followed instructions about reversing polarity and soon after remote works fine. Unfortunately, only works a couple of times and then fails to respond. Reverses polarity again, tries again and is working again, for a short while. Now fails to respond. I cant seem to keep it working effectively. It is so frustrating AGHHHH!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
