To address poor remote range, start with the simplest fix: replacing the battery in your garage door opener remote. First, remove the metal clip attached to the remote. Use the clip, or a similar thin, flat object like a small screwdriver, to carefully pry open the remote's casing. Once open, locate the coin cell battery (CR2032 is a common type shown in the video) and replace it with a new one. Snap the remote casing back together and reattach the clip. Test the remote to see if the range has improved.
