That's right, here's how to fix it

1. Are the battery springs too loose? Yes. [UPDATE: Using the correct AA instead of AAA is the best solution]2. Do the batteries fall out? Yes: 3. Is the remote more clicky (louder) than the original Samsung? Yes. The replacement remote is such a good price and the Samsung-inspired design is so great that if we can just work around the bugs, a fake remote is a good buy. The third issue, loud clicking when pressing the keys, is the only thing we can't fix. Check out the attached photo. battery springs. The solution: If you take the pen cover, insert it into the end of the spring and gently pull, you should be able to adjust the spring to just the right size to hold the batteries in place. Be careful not to stretch it too far. You only have to do this from one end to the battery. Leave the flat spring flat. [UPDATE: May not be needed - misjudged AAA, correct size is AA] Batteries fall out Fix: Find something to fill the void inside, like a folded square of toilet paper. Place it over the batteries before attaching the back cover. That's all! The remote is fine now and really beats the $50 price tag of the original Samsung remote.
