I spilled an energy drink on my Apple TV remote
all my keys are sticky now and harder to click what to do?
(old Apple TV remote)
Question marked as
The remote isn’t designed to be opened (glued shut), but fluids inside can short-circuit the button signals, short-circuit the battery, and any residue might inspissate to a sticky paste. To clean electronics, you would have to open it, and rub isopropyl alcohol all over, then glue it back again. Oxidation may already started damaging the connections, so possibly the remote is already lost.
You may need to buy a replacement remote. Apple Remote (aluminum) - Apple TV accessories - Apple Store online
