Apple TV 4K 11 mths old. It’s been awesome, but a few days ago I spilt on my remote. Spilt may be excessive as it was a couple drops from a straw pulled out of a cup. Landed right on the mute button and now all it does is mute and volume down constantly. I’m honestly surprised how sensitive this thing is considering how solid it feels in hand. From what I’ve researched it’s likely toast and Apple wont do anything so don’t waste my time taking it in (no Apple Care). Should I take it apart and try and clean with alcohol?
My cat threw up on mine. Didn’t work correctly afterwards (after I cleaned it up). I put it in a drawer for a few months and now it works fine. It made a nice gift to someone who really needed a new remote.
I did buy a replacement remote, but if you could use your phone as the remote for awhile it might come back to life after it thoroughly dries…
Maybe buy some of those silica gel bags ( they’re dirt cheap) that absorb condensation.
Stick them and the remote in a closed tub for a week. Hopefully it will dry out. ( Don’t bother trying rice as you see on line it’s hopeless)
