Asda "Status" remote controlled electric sockets

I bought some Asda "Status" remote controlled electric sockets. They were great until a few days ago when the remote started failing to control one one the sockets. Now the only button which works is the bottom one - and it only functions as an "all off / all on" as the top button should. The top button does nothing. While it might be possible to re-program three buttons (if I can remember how) the top one, is, as far as I recall, pre-set - unless anyone knows any different...?
Thanks

    Have you tried replacing the batteries? They are probably CR232s or similar - buying a multi-pack from eBay is way cheaper than the High Street.

  • Thanks. It's an MN22 (or something like that) cylinder type battery. When no one is watching the telly I'll give it a try.
  • No - I tried a new battery. l am a bit rusty on setting the control up - I think it's only pointing it at the socket and pressing the on button for two seconds but I would be grateful if anyone would refresh my memory. I usually keep instructions handy but can't find them. Thanks
