Remote Control not Working?

I got this handy little bit of information from K.S.H. on Accy Web.

What was the 1st thing he told me?

Yeah you got it - change the batteries I'd already done that and it didn't work.
2nd thing - Take the batteries out, point remote at TV and press power button for 2 mins

Hey, it worked its a static build up on the remote, handy to know for the future, thing is if I had taken this to the shop for repair what would they have charged me?? £50 at a guess

Hope this works for you if your remote plays up sometime
