Many people need to get TV remote controls replacements because they wind up losing a game of hide-and-seek with their devices. However, sometimes people have to buy replacement remote controls because they accidentally broke them in one of a variety of ways.
Here are some of the most common ways that television remote controls inadvertently break.
Abusing Them.
Your team lost. The bad guys murdered your favorite Game of Thrones character. You forgot when your show was on and missed it. All these things can trigger an almost primal sort of fury that might make someone want to whip the TV remote controls against the wall or bash them on the end table. As relaxing and enjoyable as TV time can be, TV shows can infuriate the most docile of people into fits of rage that result in busted TV remote controls.
Old Age.
Time waits for nothing–not even our TV remote controls. It’s quite possible that the computer chips lost their connectivity out, or the mechanisms inside got too worn out to function. Perhaps the most passive way to break TV remote controls, old age is also one of the most common ways, too.
Snack Time.
Nothing is better than binge watching a Walking Dead, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, or Twilight Zone marathon while chowing down on your favorite chips, cheese puffs, or greasy foods. However, the crumbs, oils, and residue from the snack that stick to your fingers can wind up inside of the TV remote controls, ruining the circuitry.
Whether it’s because a passioned fan smashed her TV remote controls, or because time took another victim, or perhaps because someone’s snacking habits got the better of him, needing a TV remote replacement is almost inevitable.
