If, after all previous checks, your remote control still isn't working or its LED didn't blink during the initial check (Step 1), it's time to replace the battery. You can use a common visor clip, or a small flathead screwdriver, to carefully pry open the plastic casing of the remote control. Start prying from one side and gently work your way around the edges until the two halves of the casing separate. Inside, you will find a coin-style battery. This remote typically uses a CR2032 battery, which is a popular size found in many electronic devices. Remove the old battery and insert a new CR2032 battery, making sure the positive (+) side is facing up (visible). Gently squeeze the new battery into its compartment and then snap the remote control case back together.
