Is your Apple TV remote refusing to cooperate? Before you resort to flinging it across the room (we've all been there!), a dead battery might be the culprit. Thankfully, replacing it is a breeze.
This guide will walk you through the simple steps to get your Apple TV remote back in action and your binge-watching back on track.
What You Need:
- A coin: A dime or a quarter works perfectly.
- A fresh CR2032 battery: These are readily available at most electronics or grocery stores.
Let's Get Started:
- Locate the battery compartment: Flip your Apple TV remote over and find the round, silver battery compartment on the bottom.
- Open the compartment: Press down on the circular indentation of the battery compartment with your coin and rotate it counter-clockwise. The compartment will pop open slightly.
- Remove the old battery: Gently pry out the old CR2032 battery. Note which side was facing up (+ or -) to insert the new one correctly.
- Insert the new battery: Place the new CR2032 battery into the compartment with the positive (+) side facing you.
- Close and secure: Align the compartment and press it down until it clicks securely back into place.
That's it! Your Apple TV remote should be powered up and ready to go.
Pro Tips:
- Can't open the compartment? Make sure you're turning the coin in the right direction (counter-clockwise). Applying gentle, even pressure can also help.
- Still not working? Double-check that you've inserted the battery correctly, with the positive (+) side facing up.
- Recycle responsibly: Dispose of your old battery properly at a designated battery recycling location.
