This is the remote for my TV in the kitchen. It's been accidentally melted a bit on the hob, dropped a gazillion times but it still works. How is it possible?
We still have the original remote that came with our cable service and it has tons of knicks and scrapes on it but also still works. I think the reason your tv remote still works is like the old Timex commercial that says, "it takes a licking, but keeps on ticking."
