    Vince, et al, here's a handy thing (if you didn't know about it already)... Make yourself up some leads with "IC Test Clips" for testing out the single wire points rather than having to hold the fiddly piecers on them. I got a handful and made some Banana to IC Clip, Alligator to IC Clip, IC Clip to IC Clip etc etc Very handy indeed. Good for hooking onto things in-circuit too if need be!

    Sound toys like the buzz lightyear use little to no current so the split off from 4.5v on the batteries would hardly make a difference. A kid is not going to constantly open and close the wings, using the motor which is the main current draw. So the batteries should discharge relatively equally. Saved the company 2 cents on sundries and a voltage reg. Fixed a bluttooth speaker the other day thanks to one of your videos (could not for the life of me work out how to get it apart). Then hid it under a table at the pub and sat at a nearby table with my iPad open and a rattle snake documentary open on it. Every time someone approached that table, I played the rattle snake. A lot of confused, and even one scared punter backed away from that table :) (there are no rattle snakes in Australia!)

    Visited my parents and they complained their Sony smart tv remote controller (RMF-TX310E) doesn't work, they even had bought another remote controller to be able to use the tv.
    I thought the button contacts might be dirty, so took it to my place to be inspected.
    First thing I tested if there's just some buttons, or all buttons that doesn't work, so putted new batteries in... and everything works just fine! I was even able to control my older Sony tv with it, so not sure why they thought it doesn't work.
    I even tested the microphone button "battery test" feature, by holding volume down and the mic button down until an led starts flashing above the mic button, and it works as well. I got impression the voice commands work using bluetooth.
    I guess I just got to experience the disappointing feeling Vince does, when there's no fault to be found after all :D

      Could they have spilled something on it when it wasn't working? I know I have had to take apart remotes more than once which 'mysteriously' stopped working/had dodgy buttons and they were a little damp on the inside. Anyway at least they have a spare remote, or a remote each, now.

      @@thehermitish1 I have no idea, nothing like that was admitted at least :D
      All I know that now in my possession the controller works perfectly without doing anything to it. All buttons work normally, no need to press them hard or something, which is usually the case with dirty contacts, before they stop working completely. Have experience about that in the past.
      From Google I saw one post about remote controller problem solved by turning off the TV, pulling the plug at least for a minute from the wall socket, and then switching it back on, some kind of hardware reset I guess. I'll recommend trying that for my parents, if it still doesn't work for them.
