- Try this First!!! Before you take your tv remote apart or buy a new one try this method. If your tv remote is acting funny, has a mind of its own, if the power button is not working, or two or three other buttons are non-responsive make sure you watch this video all the through. I have fixed many remotes like this. 60-70% will have your remote working after watching this. If it works plz like and if not work plz dislike. We should see at least 60% likes on this video. thx.

After trying 10 times, throw remote out on street in front of a truck. Listen for the crunch. Order new remote.
😂🤣😂🤣LMAO Good one
Lmao
😂😂😂😂
We can't order remote because of coronavirus
@@erichelle-manalastasleonen7144 lmao
Wait what this actually worked???...this man is ahead of our times
See if he'll run for president!
Today it just worked on my jvc remote as well I was shocked bless the man it actually works man cool dude. 😅😂😂😂
Bro is videshi,
But this is Indian style😅
This actually worked! I thought I was about to buy a new remote.😂 Thank you very much❤❤
Oh my gosh, I can't believe this worked. I have a very unique remote for a preamp that's 22 years old. I've taken it apart, changed batteries, cleaned terminals, nothing worked, UNTIL NOW after following your directions! Thank you so much!
So, basically remotes need a massage too....

John Tailing silk flowers work better
Yeah
😂😂😂😂😂😂
WORKED! While I was on the phone with Cox and they were telling me they couldn't fix it, I found your video and it worked! I told her they should add the 'fix' to their support notes. Thank you so much.
Didn't work for me. I tried it several times.
Just UNBELIEVABLE, thank you so much. Took ONE time only and boom!! Seems almost insane that something so simple simply works 😆😆
I was absolutely sceptical about this fix but, guess what? It works! Thank you so much 😊
It doesn’t work for me :(
There's no way it's 2022 and I'm still fixing technology by slapping it... Thanks a lot!!
worked for me!!!
Thank you for this comment. After trying everything. I read this and smacked it. And now it works 🤣🤣🤣🤣
yup i'm in this same boat, glad i saw this vid before angerly buying a new remote
I did not expect slapping my remote to work but it surprised me.
@@fayebrown3445 lol dude
I did like you said with the power button, but i also left the remote sitting without batteries for a few hours. Working like a charm now. Thanks!
I remember having to use the same 25 g
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Using this method I fixed the remote in minutes! You've made my husband so happy!! Wonderful.
I want to thank you for this video. My Toshiba remote VC-522 was totally unresponsive on my W522CF VHS player. Your method of pressing the power button for 60 secs after removing batteries and then pressing all the buttons numerous times revived the REMOTE. I'm ecstatic because I was given this player & Remote to help transfer VHS tapes to digital MP4 files. This has made my life much easier for those projects. Thanks a million times over, because without a remote, the VHS player wasn't working up to full capacity! YES YES YES!
Thank you it worked great!!!! My remote didn’t work at all and after doing that it worked perfectly
Felt pretty stupid doing that, waited for the end of the video to hear it was a prank, or a Rick Roll....but it actually worked. 😮
It was a remote for window blinds. Did what ya said, and blew air through it, now works fine. Amazing.
You earned that 👍
It worked for me. My remote did NOT work.
Now it does. Seriously.
You are a genius! One month ago, I dropped the remote control for my old Toshiba TV, model MW20H63. Instantly, it stopped working; would not even turn on the TV. What to do? The original remote control for my TV has been discontinued. Toshiba would not even provide customer support for older models like mine. I bought 4 different replacements, all supposedly “universal”. They did turn on the TV, but would not allow me to chose a channel by pressing the channel number chosen, then dash (-), then 1, which my old remote control allowed me to do. With the replacements, I had to use the up-down buttons to get to the chosen channel, a longer, more tiring route.
Today, I followed your technique: I took out the batteries, pressed the power button for at least one minute, pressed all the buttons, and whacked the whole remote several times against my palm; repeated the process three times; replaced the batteries; and PRONTO! The goddamn thing worked! It turned on my good old TV and allowed me to quickly get the channel I wanted simply with: The chosen channel number -dash-1. Gracias!
Cannotbelievable
Absolutely brilliant! Worked first time, thought I'd search to see if there was anything I could do before I purchased another one. Thank you so much!
Me and my dad was freaking out cuz our remote stopped working. And I try this and it worked. My dad was impressed with me and my self esteem goes up. Thank you.
😂😂 well played
As for the self esteem going up... am dead🤣🤣
Honestly thought this was a joke but it really did work lol thanks
Yep! Just did it and it worked.
Chris Mannon it worked for me too after I have gave up on my remote and ordered a new one.
Awesome easy fix
Same here,, I really didn't think it would,, Thanks
It didn't work for me
I am in absolute awe. This actually worked for me. As I was going through the steps, I thought to myself...we're being punked for views. My remote actually works. Thank you sooooooooo much 🎉
Huh. Made a noticeable difference on a 20 yr old Yamaha 5.1 receiver. Volume buttons have been crapping out lately and this seems to have brought them back to life a good bit. Still not 100%, but better than it was. Considering its age, I’m pretty impressed it’s doing anything at all.
Thanks.
I can't believe it. I'm still in shock. Finally, a troubleshooting video on TH-cam that actually works! Thank you sir!
Byron Morris
Nice one bro! My grandfather had a problem in his remote, and you brought me the solution! Thank you so much!
IT'S NOT WORKING
Seriously, it just WORKED! I dropped mine in water. I sat it on my dehumidifier. Nothing. Worked only on some buttons.
Did ur method and it went screwy for a minute then started working! Thanks SO MUCH.
I would like to extend my utmost gratitude. This is an excellent life hack for unresponsive buttons on a tv remote. I’ve had buttons that haven’t worked in years and I’ve gotten used to it until recently when I was officially fed up. Thank you so much. This works.
Didn't expect this to work, but it did! It was last hope before buying a new remote! So absolutely fantastic
Oh my, your technique saved me from having to buy another remote. You are a gem. 😃
As I watched your well explained video, my thoughts were no way, but what do I have to lose? I did exactly what you said, and holy moly, it works like a charm! Thank you so very much!
It worked for me to I couldn't belive it
Thank you!!!!!! Dropped my 12 yo remote on the hardwood floor. It came apart slightly so I was SURE I’d have to buy a new one (I had actually even put one in my Amazon cart) Tried this fix and it worked on the first try! I actually noticed when pressing all of the buttons that one of the small buttons on the bottom was stuck and pushed up into the remote.
This is unbelievable. Following your advice, I managed to fix my TV box which had got wet and was out of order. Well done!
This is so amazing! It’s actually worked in my remote after 3 attempts. Thank you so much!!
Hi from Australia.Must admit I was sceptical but gave it a try on my 7 year old Yamaha sound bar remote which had been been playing up for ages till this morning when it was totally dead.Changed batteries,nothing.Watched your video,give it a go now it's working better than ever.Cheers pal.Great tip.
I can't believe this actually worked. I was very skeptical, especially when it came to pushing all the buttons and smacking it, but it actually worked. Thank you for the video!
Okay, it took three tries and a new set of batteries, but this actually worked. I was astounded, particularly as the first two times were a no go.
Thank you! (Poor remote, lost for weeks under a pile of stuff, collecting dust...)
I cant believe but it worked. Thank u so much
I watched this video and thought "yeah I don't think so" and not expecting it to work I did as instructed. I was amazed to find that the 2 buttons (+ - volume controls) which did not work ; have now started working perfectly. INCREDIBLE ! I am an electronics engineer and I have never heard of this procedure but Hey! it works. Thank you very much for your video.
SAME
you can use the channel up button to power up the tv
Noooooooooo waaaaaaaaaay!!!!! This ACTUALLY WORKED. I was getting ready to buy a new/universal remote and decided to Google a fix as a last ditch effort and I found this video. It worked on the first try for me. Thumbs up all the way.
Pressed all buttons without battery and remote still didnt work.
So followed this advice holding power for 1 min and multipressing all other button.
Yep works now!
Thanks
Tried it twice and it worked !! I was at one point going bonkers and didn't know what to do. Then I said there must be a solution on the internet, and you were the very first option. Thanks guy 👍👍👍👍 you saved my day and my sanity
And saved you from rage
AWESOME!!! worked like a charm! Been trying to find the solution on why my remote for my Samsung Blue ray player ( UBD-M8500) remote would not work for over 3 hrs. I finally decided to check TH-cam videos on fixing the matter and stumbled on your video. Thank you for relieving my headache!
Say what? I just did my other remote in the living room..... My power button works again!!!
two for two. Thank you so much for this video.
I was worried my thrifted TV was on its way out. Nope! Just the remote. This is so simple, but it works! Thanks man :)
I had trouble with my TV remote for the last couple of nights. It didn’t matter how many new batteries I put in there, it still didn’t work until I watch your video. And the method worked for me. Thanks. 😊
Mine still isn’t working
I had a DVD player remote that didn't work, and I was feeling the same as the numerous skeptics out there. I tried this method and it works!
Brilliant! This worked after trying 5 times and cleaning my remote with a bleach cleaner. I did have to wait about an hour after cleaning for it to dry. But then it actually worked a treat! Thank you!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I found your video, whilst I was looking for a replacement remote control because the sound on my old one would no longer work, so I thought I would give your 'fix' a try before ordering anything.
And what do you know? My old control is now as good as new! Crazy!
Thank you so much!
I was at the end of my tether I just couldn’t figure out what had happened. Thank you so much this has helped I am in disbelief I didn’t even have to press all the buttons much coz I was a bit sceptical but what do you know. Thank you smiling so much right now😃
Holy moly thank you remote professor my remote works now smoothly I trued this in today dated 8 July wednesday 2020....my remote is working fine....but before it was kinda cranky and just switching channels automatically and i tried this method gave a remote a freaking massage touched all the buttons and gave it a good whack two to five times checked and boom it works normal....this is an honest review I have not been paid neither have i been forced to do this review....thank you have subbed and liked
I was skeptical about this but it worked!!! I had to do it three times and I'm glad I stuck with it because now my Tivo has full functionally again. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I'll be damned, it worked! Ok so here's my case:
I bought this very old but very good ultra high definition tv for 50$ and the previous owner gave me the remote which had not been used for years. The tv worked fine but the remote did not.
So I opened up the remote and cleaned the inside, which was full of grease, coffee, some old white battery build up stuff and dirt but still was not working.
I was about to give up but I saw this video, gave everything you said a try and it WORKED FIRST TIME! Now I don't have to buy another remote.
This is actually worked .this is practically worked for me......if u don't believe it then just try it for once.....
It did not fix mine
Frickin' unbelievable! Worked 1st time after following the instructions! So happy I tried this before heading out to buy a new remote, thank you so much for posting these instructions. Your optimistic tone helped me believe it would work and VOILA!
Mine didn't work , but thank you!
Not working! Tried 4x😳😎
Alright ... being totally honest here, I was talking a massive amount of trash while doing this method thinking there was NO way on this God green earth that this would work. And hot damn it worked ... you're a friggin' genius! Thanks a bunch!!!
Still works! Glad I found this vid before spending 10 bucks on Amazon. Sometimes, the simple methods are truly the best. Thanks for posting!!!
Thanks this worked for me.
My little one dropped the remote and it stopped working, after watching this and trying it, it has sprung to life again.
Thanks again
Wow! It took six tries but it finally worked. I did not believe this would do any good but figured the remote wasn't working anyway so I might as well give it a try and relieve some frustration at the same time. This was an old remote for a DVD/VHS combo and would not have been easily replaced so I'm extremely happy that it's "fixed".
Good
Slept on my remote last nite, just volume worked, took apart maybe something snapped, no local store carry it , online $ 90 , found your video worked 1st time and smoother, thx man , saved me $ 100 , appreciated
Holy sht it worked. I had a 32" Vizio 2010 plasma tv whose remote was lost for around 7 years and found later that it didn't worked. Jan 16th, 2023, around 2 years since I last grabbed it, I tried downloading an app but my phone had no IR sensor so I tried reaching out for the remote, unsurprisingly didn't worked but I looked up on TH-cam to see if I could find a fix. Found this video, grabbed a fresh pair of batteries and held the button for around a minute and a half and BOOM!
This genuinely works, thank you so much!
😂😂😂 I watched this video...after realizing it was close to the end of the video I said “THIS is his advice!??” I tried it and it worked!
Worked for me! Only the volume buttons worked after I'd turn on the TV manually. I figured it was worth a try and felt silly pushing the buttons, but it worked the first time and this is an older Phillips remote that isn't the same brand as the TV. Thank you!
Same problem as yours... Volume button to increase the sound does not work... Sadly this procedure hasn't fixed...
Hi there, After countless of time changing new batteries for my fan rc, I follow your step for the 1st time and it eventually works! Thank you very much dude!
100% works, I did as you said and after 4 times I was thinking this guy is crazy, but on the 5th attempt while being laughed at by my partner, it worked. cheers my man 👍
I had a remote for a receiver that was in storage for 3 years, and when attempting to use it again it wouldn’t operate. I removed the batteries which had leaked, and cleaned it from the inside, but still no luck with brand new batteries. After nearly tossing it into the garbage, I saw this video. A replacement for this model of receiver was unfortunately not available. So even though I was skeptical, I thought I may as well give a try to the suggestions raised in this video. And it worked, the remote was brought back to life! Thanks so much for producing this video!
Me too. I found it stupid at first.. worked like magic.. this guy is a genious.. saved me like 20bucks for a new one..
Had my Marantz remote fixed which cost £30 but 2 months later it stopped again. I was very cynical about the simplicity of your video but it worked!!
Many thanks
I was skeptical. But It worked the very first time. I was thrilled. I was so proud of myself. My son was amazed that his old mother could fix something that he could not.
JUST TURNED OUT BATTERIES LIKE YOU SAID AND PUSHED POWER BOTTOM ONE MINUTE AND VOLUME IS WORKING PERFECTLY, THANKS FOR THIS TRICK,I AM SHURE THAT NO ONE TV TECHNICIAN KNOWS THAT
I was just about to take my remote apart. Dude it worked like a charm. Thanks. Didn't have to call support and be in the phone for 2 hours until they say you need to purchase a new one.
Thanks
This worked! Thank you! Will you make a video on how to improve building my 90’s? I always build a floor above for some reason and idk what to do to fix that.
Jesus Christ this is the best remote fixing tutorial I've ever come across! You've earned a sub!
Man, I was so disgusted with my Ceiling LED Lights remote not responding, despite numerous battery changes. Had opned and checked the remote chipboard too, cleaned it etc. I was about to replace the lights. But checked out this post. Seriously, it worked, voila... the remote is back to work .... thanks chief !!
I was so sceptical about it, I tried it once and yikes it worked for me... I was thinking of getting rid of my home theatre! Thanks a bunch dude!
Never crossed in mind that it is going to work, but after being desperate I tried it. Works! Thank you very much for the tips 👐👐👐👐
WTF!!!! First try and my power button works again. Lunch is on me. My lazy @$$ having to reach across my 6 foot desk was driving me crazy. You basically solved 3 issues with one process, good work!! Thank you again.
I was skeptical but I literally cannot believe that this actually worked!! You’re a legend
This actually worked for me. 2 tries and remote surprisingly worked. I laughed at some of these comments. 😀I was sceptical too.
Watch my remote controllers development review, button assignment etc...th-cam.com/video/irjGUvtjZAg/w-d-xo.html
Dawn Preston I read your comment before I tried, it gave me hope and I couldn't wait to try. All four remotes are working.
Thank you so much! My toddler ran out of the shower and got a hold of the remote while he was wet! So much water went into it...Been trying half the day to get it to work. whacked it, took it apart dried it still nothing...then saw your video and tried it and it really worked! I must say I was skeptical but wow thank you so much it actually worked!
I was having problems with the arrow keys, hard to control them. Awful situation!
Just watch your video.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
FIRST TRY!
Thanks so much!
Who said that Magic doesn't exist!!!
On my second cycle, I was sure I'd fallen for an April fool, then blow me down, it started working! Thanks very much foryour help.
Yep it worked, I used your method and I also leftit like 24h without batteries and now it is perfect. I feel smart knowing this. 😊 THANKS
My mind is actually boggled. I sat there screaming "what the heck?! Why did that work?" Over and over for like 3 minutes as im changing channels and clicking all the buttons jdjwjdjs
Buddy woooooow my remote has started working .....I had to cancel my Amazon 😂 thank you very much dude
You are a genius. For a week we watched hardly hearing the sound of the movie but after trying this man’s technique our remote control worked. Now i can turn the volume up and down. Thanks very much for sharing.
3 year old video still valid to this day. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Not valid to me but ok
Hahaha no way bro It actually worked when I first watched I thought this was a troll but I thought screw it and done it and it works now! Thanks man
Thanks a million mate .... stumbled across your video while just about to buy a replacement set top box because the remote wasn't working .... was resigned to losing all my archive of previously recorded programs built up over the years .... but flipping heck ... your trick worked and now I have it all back without spending a penny .... Thanks a bunch
100% 👍 Fixed two remotes.
One for the TV and one for the android.
Unbelievable. 😂
This actually worked, this video was so helpful I was stressed out to the tee, because I didn't want to buy a universal remote having to go through all of that drama. My remote actually ended up working thanks so much.
It totally worked! It took 3 tries, Thank you! It saved me from having to buy a new remote!
Delighted this worked. My Airbnb guest was due to check in later today and tv was not working. Best Buy is quite a drive away and it is snowing so this was a great, easy fix 😊
Didn’t work :(
Didn't work
You are a genius. Just when I thought I may have to go for a new remote, your trick worked like magic. I got my samsung smart tv remote to work after the 2nd try. Thanks a ton! :)
Oh my goodness...this worked like a Charm and it only took one try.
My television started malfunctioning all of a sudden when I used the remote. Dancing all over the screen, selecting things on its own. After doing this once it stopped and I was able to select what I wanted.
Thanks a Million!!
You saved me a trip to the repair guy or the cost of a new TV.
whew!!
IT WORKED FOR ME! Thanks. I was just about to order a new remote.
Thanks for making and sharing this video ❤
OMG this works. I almost threw away 1 controller and the controller for my 2nd TV was also playing up. Followed this video and they BOTH work perfectly. Thank you.
Forgot to say it worked first time
Wow!!!, the second method worked for me. I was about to buy another remote. You made my day. Thank you so much!
It worked on the first try! Thank you. You have a great, enthusiastic energy about you.
Every single button has been working fine on the remote EXCEPT the power button.
It was great reading through the comments to see how many people this helped. After 4 tries of this, I unfortunately did have to take my remote apart - there ended up being massive dust collection even on the motherboard, so after cleaning that off, the power button finally worked.
I’ll be sure to give this a try again in the future should I encounter an issue with a remote again. Thanks!
all of my buttons did not work even the power botton
Ima open my controller if this doesn't work
all my buttons are weird u have to click really hard on it for it to register
Same @@Dackered
90 like😊
I didn’t think this had a “remote” chance of working? I was wrong! Worked like a charm! Thank you!
I was so dead worried about my remote not working cause it was new. I bought them 6 months ago.I changed the batteries,then I put the old batteries,then I tapped it and at last I was about to open up the remote but Thank goodness I saw your vedio or I would have ripped it into half😂 it only took me one round to fix the remote again Thank YOU bro❤❤
Just wanted to comment to let you know that I left the lake and I'm very happy that I did in fact get it to work. I followed your steps by holding the power button down for a minute and pressing all the buttons then putting the batteries in in trying it it didn't work the first time by the filed the same steps the second time and it worked just perfectly fine. My TV is on and I want to say thank you very much and also let others know that watch this video that it actually does work. May God continue to bless you man take care!
Did this now all my buttons don’t work and the button that was not working is finally working Great!!!!
As an electronics engineer I was sceptical but after 2 tries this method really works, amazing! Thanks and apologies for my scepticism
This actually worked! I just repeated the process two times and my remote instantly started working 👍
OMG I didn’t think it was going to work. It did sound ridiculous, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try! My remote worked on the first try 😅 😂 thank you 🙏
