Gotta love when batteries explode in your remote control
 

Time to buy a new univseral remote I guess. This remote is done for.

Perhaps now the woman will learn not to buy the cheapy no name brands just to save a dollar.

ive got one of these.

edit: price has come down too, I paid 200.

I haven't had batteries explode on me for at least 15 years. It magically stopped after I quit buying them cheapy batteries. I started putting rechargeables in everything now.

I can remember as a kid, even the good batteries ended up making a mess out of toys. I lost my Mini Pac-Man arcade unit to crappy Durecell D cells.

that sucks... be careful :)

rechargeables are the only way to go these days
