Dropped romote control?

Question

i accidentally dropped the remote control in water, i instantly grabbed it out and dried it inside and out ; but can,t get it to work is it a goner and if so; how does a universal remote work?

Answer 1

You need to give it more time for it to thoroughly dry out. Just because you dried it doesn't mean the very inside is completely dry. Wait it out.

Answer 2

Let it dry for several days. Change the batteries and try again. I have a logitech Harmony universal remote that downloads the codes from the internet. Best money I ever spent. It controls TIVO and everything else in my media center.

Answer 3

Don't be cheap!  Go buy a new remote.  After you do that...go play some Halo 3....
