Check your remote controller is working OR not
Some time you noticed that Remote controller is not working then you feel bad because you are not
able to control you Device and sometime its getting irritating due to of Remote controller not work
and some time you even Slapped to Remote controller and get happy again as it get start
working. what actually the phenomenon behind this lets
reveal …….it.
When you use your Remote controller from many months and due to of long time usage its possibility
increases an oxidation or you can say a corrosion layer between Batteries negative side and your
remote controller spring , where both parts are attached with each other and you are thinking right this
oxidation creates insulation or in other words you can say creates hindrance to flow electrical current
properly into the remote controller from the batteries , and some time when you slapped the remote its
get awaken and start working…actually doing this activity you are removing the corrosion because
Batteries and spring contacts joints slightly dislocate and make contacts again at some another place
and you see your remote controller starts working again
any smile came on your face…Isn’t it … .
In Another side you must check something else for more confirmation what’s wrong with your Remote controller:
1. Must check whether battery is dead or being use since many days, then sure its time to
replace that . Also check batteries should not be leaked. You must know that each battery have 1.5
Voltage rating mentioned on it and mostly two batteries required to use in every remote , so total
voltage required 3V and Remote works till the voltage go down to 1.8V (Its depend upon the
operating voltage rating of microcontroller being used inside the Remote and it may vary company
to company but 1.6 may be the lowest operating voltage range as optimum current to awaken the
microcontroller )
1. Check whether some keys of remote controller are not working. As below every key there is
Carbon printing which makes contact with the Carbon keys on PCB if this keypad Carbon get
erased then your Remote keys will not work .
1. Look whether IR Led is blinking. You must check the IR LED , as you can see at the front side
of your IR Remote controller you will find a small bulb in technical Language we called it IR LED
(light emitting diode) we cannot ever see the light through our naked eyes , so for that you can see
the same through your Mobile camera if light not seems on your mobile screen even after pressing
any remote keys it means something wrong with Remote controller and its time to replace your
Remote Controller with new one .
