|
|
Hi,
I have your typical Sony 1272Q remote, with IR interface, which requires 3 AA batteries.
I cannot get it to work for more than one or two button presses at a time. Then I must "juggle" the batteries and then it will usually work for another press or two.
I have switched it out with two different batches of brand-new batteries, so I know it is not simply that my batteries have gone dry.
The spring which pushes the batteries against their contact point is straight and tense - it is not damaged in any way. Likewise the contact point shows no signs of being shifted or oxidized.
I am using the cable that connects the remote to the back of the projector despite the availability of wireless use.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, I figured it out 
The foam from the interior of the battery clip had gone, so I just replaced it with some tissue, to provide extra pressure against the batteries. That seems to have solved it

haha a piece of foam shuts down a $20 000 projector. Good trouble shooting.
