HI
It's very rare that a remote control would just stop working, take out the new battery and look at the contacts. Are they slightly corroded or tarnished in some way? If so, use a small nail file or emery board to get them shiny. Try it again. If there is still a problem you need to find out if it still transmitting so, use a radio with AM or Medium Wave/Long Wave on it, press any button on the remote and tune through the band and you should hear it pulsing.
If there is no pulsing sound or the item it is for is not responding then you may have to replace the remote. Sometimes those cheap remotes with a book of codes can work the item in most cases. I have a Rotel CD player and have used such a remote to work it.
Hope this helps you and the best of luck.

Why isn't remote working after battery replacement?

As long as the battery produces what the remote needs it should work. However the remote itself could be faulty. Or the remote sensor on your device could be faulty. Check that the old battery has not leaked and messed up the contacts. Plus the new battery is actually touching the contacts!

Bauhn 32" TV! red light is on, The remote is flat & I can not start using standby button.

Check the Batteries inside of the remote control for your TV to see if they needs to be replaced and put new batteries inside of the TV remote and see if it will work after having new batteries. If the remote is still not working with new batteries then the remote is broken and needs to be replaced with a new remote from your TV company. The TV name of brand should have an official company website and you could try and take a look for replacement remotes.

Low battery power can cause the remote to not work correctly or not work at all. Lift the back cover up and away from the remote. Remove and re-insert the 2 batteries. Replace the back cover on the remote, and slide down to click it back into place.
Pour a little bit of rubbing alcohol onto a piece of cotton and very gently clean the main board. You will be surprised to see how much dirt is built up on the main board. Now take all the other parts or pieces of your remote control and give them a good gentle wash using a tiny bit of mild soap. Wash all the plastics and also the rubber keypad.

Remote for Sony vcr works intermittently.

Sounds like the connections inside the remote are damaged and might need soldering. Check the connections around where the battery terminals are carefully. Has a battery leaked in the remote?

My remote stopped working. Replaced batteries so

1) Reset the remote. To do this, remove the batteries and hold down one of the number buttons for about 5 seconds to drain the capacitors. Replace the batteries, reprogram the remote to your TV and see if it works.

2) If it doesn't, try a second set of replacement batteries just in case.

3) If none of the DirectTV codes work, you have 3 options.

1) Contact Directv and see if they have additional codes not listed in the manual.

2) Contact your televisions manufacturer and see if they have additional codes to try.

3) Purchase a 3rd party remote that works with both devices..
