Am I really gonna have to buy a specific tool just to open my Apple TV remote and clean the buttons? Can't find anything else that works πŸ™„
@ff00aa My circular tappable area at the top stopped working, and can’t help but notice yours is removed… does it work without the plastics? I might as well try if it does for you, currently it’s sitting in a drawer
@cdf1982 Sorry that's a photo from the iFixit walkthrough πŸ˜…
Showing the "iFixit iFlex" that's needed to get anything out of the remote. Thankfully it's on Amazon ^^

@ff00aa πŸ˜‚ Makes more sense now.

I’m usually not that cheap, but buying a new remote for 70 € when hopefully a new Apple TV will be available later in the year seems wasteful, so I’ll make do with the Remote app for the little use I have.
Thanks!

@cdf1982 I’m in the same boat, all the buttons are half-stuck and it feels silly spending that much on a replacement
@ff00aa Such a quality product, clearly!
@cdf1982 To be fair I have no idea what happened to the remote over the two years it was at my old place without me ^^
