AppleTV Remote water damage

Apple TV is great for use in bedroom, until you loose the remote in the sheets and wash it. My remote recently went through a full wash cycle. Found it before putting into the dryer and immediately wiped down and then let rest upside-down and covered in rice for a day. Next day, cleaned the battery area a bit, put in a new battery, and it seemed to work okay for about a day.

Noticed the select button starting to not work (had to really press hard to get any function) but the menu and play buttons worked fine. 48 hours later, the remote is completely dead. Is there a way to fix this? Could not find a teardown or guide for any Apple Remote.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
