Sometimes, a TV remote stops working. When this happens, people often tap the back of the remote. This simple action can sometimes fix the problem.
The reason is that the batteries inside the remote may not connect well. Over time, a white or green layer can form on the battery contacts. This layer blocks electricity.
When you tap the remote, it can remove this layer or move the batteries slightly. This helps electricity flow again, so the remote works normally.
