Question

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Answer 1

Mike - this is TV Electronics, where technical TV operational and electronics problems are discussed, not Dr. Phil. Go to Y/A Categories and I'm sure you will find SOME forum that is designed for your inane question, but not here.

Answer 2

Because there is an unwarranted stringent curiosity in the mind's corner- we think may be there is some more charge in the batteries is left or the terminals have come out loose - If it works out, temporarily we need not buy a new pair of batteries.

Answer 3

Cause we're dumb dumb dumb!!

Oh, ask the one about glue not sticking to the bottle next!  

Answer 4

its a natural thing people just have a hope that the remote might work if they press it hard because suppose it might be a button problem too!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

haha....i dont know!!!

Answer 6

because we are too lazy to go out and buy new batteries?
