Universal remote issue

I’ve always used streaming as my music source, so the remote control has been left unused on the table for a long time. A few days ago, I noticed that the red LED on the remote has been constantly on.

The red LED on the remote keeps blinking even when I’m not pressing any buttons. I suspect it might be due to dirt on the circuit board.

Have any of you encountered a similar issue? If so, how did you deal with it?

I tried opening the remote for cleaning, but it wasn’t successful. After removing the battery cover and unscrewing two screws, I could slightly lift the bottom part, but the top seems to have clips, so I couldn’t open it completely. Does anyone know the correct way to disassemble the remote without damaging it? Or does anyone have disassembly photos that could help?

Did you try to replace the batteries with fresh ones?
