So, dropped my TV remote and it just stopped working. Changed the batteries, did the ol' knock-knock trick, nada. So in my infinite wisdom and desperation to change the channel, I figured: bananafix!
Popped the remote open, and there was a broken circuit that the battery connects to. Grabbed a slightly over ripe banana, mushed it, and used a bit of the paste to connect the circuit. Guess what... it worked! Could change channels again lol. Only thing was, had to keep applying banana every hour as it dried up and stopped conducting electricity. Needless to say, I've ordered a new remote 😅.
Genius solution! Who knew bananas could double as a quick DIY conductive substance. I'm stealing this idea for my next hack lol.
