  2. How do I know if the battery is dead? If your remote is unresponsive or only works intermittently, it might be time to replace the battery. You can also check by replacing the battery with a new one to see if functionality is restored.
  3. Can I open the remote without a screwdriver? Using a small flat object, like a coin or a plastic card, can sometimes be a substitute for a screwdriver, but a small screwdriver is generally recommended for better control.
