Questions and answers
Our remote simply went dark and won't take a charge...the charger base is powered
The Savant remote is not charging and has gone dark possibly due to a battery issue. One user reported a message indicating a battery problem, and restarting/resetting the remote did not help, suggesting the battery may be faulty. Additionally, another user experienced the remote not powering on even after being in the charging cradle overnight. If the battery is unresponsive, it may need to be replaced, but there is no clear guidance on how to open the remote for battery replacement.
