Sony remote for a Wega TV will not work unless I open the
lid and twist the battery a couple of times. I also clean the
battery and remote contact surfaces with a q-tip and nail
polish without much reliability. What are some ways that
I can do to improve its reliability?

Thanks






If the pip on the + end of the battery pokes through a plastic slot
it may be only just making contact if recessed in the slot

Yeah, some battery positive terminals (and the positive end of the battery itself, which might have an effect) are slightly different than others...some shorter, some fatter...both of which might affect positive (pun intended) contact.
