  • teach your girlfriend her place instead

    this DIY trick is going to look funny hanging out of your girlfriends phallic shaped electronic friend, which is obviously where all your missing batteries have gone wild.

    Wel dun buddy - i never thought of completing the circut - i always thought each battery wos connected independently - guess not!

    only thing is you may have some problems if you do this on eg: musical equipment due to the electrical phase being wrong because of a low current.

    nice idea though,

    add more

  • low voltage

    have you try using that hacked remote in a distance?
    it does not work!
    it has low loltage
    the remore needs 3V to work and u are just give him 1.5V
    u need to be close to the TV in order to it work

    • 10 feet or so..

      This has saved me twice in hotels in Central America... once for an AC unit in Nicaragua... and once for a TV hanging from the ceiling in Costa Rica... now when I travel i always carry a new pack of AA and AAA batteries with me... usually on the road you arrive late at night in hotels so you cant always just run out and buy them

    • Try a New Battery!

      if using a single battery, it does need to have decent charge to function the remote... especially a AAA in a AA slot!
      Keep this in mind.
