- Hy There,
In this video i'll show you how easy is to repair non working buttons on tv or any other remote controll.
The main problem is dirt on button pads, i just clean them with alcohol and grease it with contact solution, wich is in big helb on bad electrical contacts.
There are many way to repair remote control, well, that's just one of them.
Thanks for watching.
Hope you enjoy in video and welcome to watch my other channel:

This does work! I thought the buttons were broken, but before I threw it out I might as well break it open and try to fix it. There were two screws (one behind a label just like you said) and then I pried it open with lots of popping - what sounded like breaking. Cleaned it as you said but had to put it back together without the solution you put on. It went back together easily, snapped, and has only a few gouges from my prying. Best of all - IT WORKS like new.
Great. Worked fine after alcohol clean. Excellent video.
one of the few tech repair videos that really helped. Thanks a ton you saved the purchase of a new remote its working like a new one now
You just helped me repair an irreplaceable air conditioner remote! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
nice to hear, cheers
Thank you so much...really effective. We used cotton buds and surgical spirit to clean inside and out. Controller works fine now. Didn't use contact solution as only had WD40 but clean up worked fine without. Saved us having to buy a new controller. Cheap and environmentally friendly. Brilliant stuff
Ok, if work after cleaning, don't apply anything else, only cleaning is best.
Do not aply basic wd40, because it got "acid" inside + grease, so bad for contact and because of "acid" contact can oxidise (rust) after time.
But i think wd40 sell also special sprays for electrical contact, that's the right thing, but if work do not aply anything. Thanks
This procedure cleans very well, I have used it too to clean wireless phones.
This worked perfectly for a remote of mine on which I had practically given up hope. Thanks!!
Wasn't aware phones camera would show the remote working, that helps a lot to troubleshoot, thanks!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! It was easy to follow and it worked like a charm.
You saved me $500. I have an expensive adjustable bed with remote, and the remote became unresponsive. A replacement remote costs $500. We followed your instruction and now my original remote works like new. Thank you!
Thanks, like to hear that
Abs brilliant, I used strong hand sanitiser as I didnt have anything else to hand, and it now works perfectly!
We have been without the remote for months and the buttons at the back were broken so I was at the point of buying a new TV but now Ive saved myself a fortune, Thanks so Much
Wow neat, it really works, I've cleaned out the contract strip many times before but I guess cleaning with alcohol really made the difference. My remote is like new. Thanks a ton, keep us posted on similar DIY stuff that really works.
Works like a charm without alcohol too ❤
Great video! I wish I watched this before paying some one. Any how's you doing also use a USB mouse. 99% modern TV you can operate with mouse.
You’re a genius wowwwww never stop make more
If all else fails - try my fix - open remote 1) make a note of buttons not working 2) Clean all button contacts and circuit board as shown in the video 3) re assemble, check and note if any buttons not working 4) open up again and get a length of thin double sided adhesive tape 5) cut a short strip ay 50mm and get same length of foil stick dull side of foil to tape 6) use hole punch with bottom cover of and punch out discs from the tape/foil you just made 7) with a sharp blade gently ease foil from disc edge (it usually comes of with adhesive attached to foil) you may need tweezers to pull of completely 8) position/place disc over contact button and press down with finger - repeat on all buttons not working. I have successfully done this on several remotes. Needs a bit of patience.
Cleaned two Sony remotes and they're working like new. Thanks!
Thanks. This advice worked a treat got my remote working again.
God bless you, you just saved me too much stress
Thank you so much my remote is working. I just checked with my camera😊
Thanks so much, I did this just using alcohol and now it works perfectly!
Always like to hear great feedback like yours.
This fixed my remote...it was filthy and had a thick film!! Thanks!
No problem, happy to fix it
I followed the same steps and now my !@#$% remote control is working well again. Thanks!!
Always like to hear that, thanks
Its actually work,thanks
Thank you, you helped me learn something NEW!
Omg it worked and mine had sticky stuff on it but cleaned it off and it works 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
thank you contact spray was the step I have missed
Thanks a lot and god bless..very helpful
Thanks for your help
Thanks. This worked for me.
Now my remote doesnt work at all. Thanks
Same is with me now.
yawa HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Skill issue
Thank you
thank you it helped me
You saved me a lot of money!
Thanks for the video it works
Thank you for your information 😀
Thank you for this helpful tutorial 👍🏻
Great bro, I will see I I can fix mine
Sure you can 😉
@@TinC33 Yeah, it worked. Thanks bro
What is the "grease" you refer to at 2m45s is this a lubricant or a cleaner.
It's electrical contact solution it make good contact on buttons switches... Google it for electrical contact grease, there are many brands, also wd40 got one of them.
Thanks you❤️🙃
I have a question regarding the Sony remote.I have only my voice control buttons is working except other buttons on Sony remote. I can not switch on or off using remote.I am using manual buttons behind my tv.Can you tell me how to fix this issue.
Try to do same as i do in that video if the power button don't work focus on that button while cleaning.
Thank you. Working perfectly now. Very good.
I may need that kontak liquid. When I looked at the circuit board the same button that keeps giving trouble shows a faint line through it as if the circuit may be broken
What about thisth-cam.com/video/Z7tsTG_Kq4M/w-d-xo.html
I used the remote that I just fixed to like this video while watching on the telly
Que es el líquido colorado
The infared light isn't working and I can't find any screws to take it apart. If the light isn't working is it a gonner?
Maybe your lens got protection cover and can't see the ir light, try with some other older camera, many remotes got no screws, try to open carefully apart, there are kust hooks on booth side of cover.
Okay I got it apart when you say alcohol can I use nail varnish remover is that like the same thing
@@nataliewallace8250 you can use pencil rubber eraser to clean the spots, i would not use aceton it's too agtessive and may demage the laquer on a pcb.
@@TinC33 I used a little bit of hand sanitiser and did all you said, but the infrared light is not working and still not connecting to my TV to switch on I think I'll have to buy a new remote control. Thanks for all your help.
@@TinC33 when I was trying to look for my remote control I moved the settee and because I've got a recliner. The metal bar of the settee underneath squashed the remote control as I put the settee down, so maybe that has somehow damaged it.
Thanks for the video. I opened up my remote and gave it a good clean including all the contacts on the pcb and the rubber buttons etc. I ad three buttons not working before and those still dont work. Any ideas?
maybe the pads was worn out, you can buy specially Keypad Fix kits but it's about 10$ but you can buy Electrically Conductive Adhesives (ebay for 1-2$) and just make a thin layer over the rubber button pads.
@@TinC33 Thank you for replying. Yes sure I can try the ECA. Do you think applying it would fix the buttons and the issue is not rooted in the pcb sensors itself?
@@SaminPK try on one button firstly, there was no sensor, it's just circuit (two end), and when you touch it with something conductive, it make contact, you can try push a piece of aluminium foil on spot of one button and you will see if pcb work.
@@TinC33 Aluminium foil idea is great. I will try it tomorrow and update. Thanks
is Kontakt 60 a Electrial Conductive Adhesive or just a cleaner. I was going to buy this from Ebay
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Liquiwire-100-Electrically-conducting-paint-for-PCB-electric-circuit-repair/223704549098
just wanted to double check if this is the correct conductive adhesive/paint and if Kontact 60 is just a cleaner or would do the job as the conductive adhesive.
Particular problem with DirectTV remotes. The bottom black part has 2 layers. Hard plastic, PS or ABS, and soft layer, perhaps PVC with plastifier. This particular external layer makes the remote to stick to any surface and not sliding. And this is what creates the problems. Slowly it emits plastifier fumes that condense on the inside, on the PCB and buttons. Plastifier is insulator, and the conducting rubber does not touch the metal terminals. Take it apart, wash the plastic parts with soap and water, and the PCB with rubbing alcohol. Remove the yakky sticccky residue. How to take apart the remote. Remove the batteries. On the bottom there are two small black screws. Take them out. Flip the top. There is an oval insert at the middle. Remove it gently with a small sharp flat screwdriver. Start around the blue button. Under it you will find 4 more longer screws. Remove them. There are several snap-ons. Thats it. Wash, reassemble.
I can't open the sides with anything! I took the screw out but the sides are so tight; how do I open it?
It's hooked, not easy but you need to fugured out where the hooks is 😉
what ia the liquid u r using ? can i use petrol
No petrol got lot of oil i think, liquid i use was 99% cleaning alcohol, best stuff for cleaning electronics
@@TinC33 thanks for sharing
This is not repairing this is cleaning!
There's another video if cleaning doesn't fix the isue, you'll need to replace the button pads
Excellent video. i couldn't believe how much cr@p was in there. Thank You.
On my case, the buttons are seems alright but on the left and right button is working but need to press it more force rather than other buttons.
That mean bad contact for sure, if cleaning won't help you'll need to do that: th-cam.com/video/Z7tsTG_Kq4M/w-d-xo.html
Very nice
Instead of using a camera, take the control and bring it near to a radio (AM) set to a blank spot on the dial (no station). Push each button to listen for a noise. You will know the unit is transmitting if any button makes a noise on the radio. Push each button to see how many are working. If some don’t work,it will need the repair shown here. Some radios are better than others,being more sensitive than others. Portable transistor radios I found were best.
Interesting, thanks for info.
If you have an electric guitar aim at the pick-ups, works great.
This won't work on an infra red (IR) remote, it will work for a radio frequency remote (RF)
@@vikramupadhaya5784 I have a few IR controls. Yes if the IR transmitter itself is working or not working,the camera test is needed. But if you have button problems only,the control still generates a frequency that the radio picks up. Years ago when I was listening to a radio program on headphones I had the tv on. I pushed the channel button and it scared the heck out of me. This is how I caught onto electronic devices can generate frequency’s the radio can pick up.
None of working buttons on any of my remotes make visible light like in clip.
Try with different camera, possible older one.
Can I used sanitizer for cleaning
Better to use clean alcohol, because it leave no traces when evapurate
@@TinC33 thanks...
Love how you blame the children lol
Yes because i don't heave balls to tell the truth, wife is problem 🙈
I don't have that contact liquid so I put some black pencil lead shavings
What if the light does NOT even switch on please ???
Check the contact into battery tray if they'r rusted clean them and install new battery. Or you got wifi remote.
Contact does seem a little rusted ... What would be the best way of cleaning it please @@TinC33 ???
@@johannedufort5900 try with fine sandpaper and than with pencil rubber cleaner, but don't broke them, you can also put small ball of aluminium foil in it if you broke the spring to make contact.
I did try to put some foil paper on @@TinC33 ...
... Which caused the battery to heat up significantly !
@@johannedufort5900 you just need to make small ball of foil so it won't touch other terminals, but if you got non broken spring just scratch rust away and install new batzery, because old batery cause rust on spring.
That took you 10 mins?😂😂😂
Lmao didn't work so smashed it off the wall works perfectly fine now 😃
😂😂🤣
Cleaning works if your remote is dirty, but not if the buttons are worn out. Kontakt 60 or alu. Folie tried, stil few buttons do not work.
So i tried liquid silver on the buttons. It works, but not for long.
A few buttons refuse to work. Shit
In that case you need to use special conductive paste, i see once "button repair kit" there was conductive glue to repair pcb and lot op tiny pads to glue on keyboard.
oh children... hahaha
Bhai
This is not repair.
This is cleaning...
Actually yes, but also repair, repair with cleaning 😉
1:57, i can't move my hands that fast.

Thanks. This advice worked a treat got my remote working again.
Fantastic, I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm. I was getting ready to throw out the old one and buy a new one. Thanks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great, alwas happy to hear positive feedback, stuff like that today is so cheap but the feeling when you fix it is priceless, isn't it?
Not only did I fix 1 remote but another one that also didn’t work.
👍🏼😘
Hi. I tested my infared sensor under my cell phone camera. The light comes on for all buttons except the power button. Is that normal?
Do yoh got issues with power button, does it work on tv?
I am having trouble remove the cover of remote control because the top/bottom cover are ultrasonic welded together. Any suggestion how to remove to top/bottom cover without damaging them ? Mine is Panasonic TV RC.
If they are welded, i think the best result got with a knife or if you got a small tiny saw in a drill like dremel...
Before closing clean the edges of plastic so they are nice and then glued together with ca...
Thanks. This advice worked a treat got my remote working again.
