My remote completely didn't work...I tought that this won't work but it actually did. I pressed on 1 button for 1 min without the batteries, after 1 min i put the batteries back in and bum it works. Thank youu❤❤
Excellent video. This is called a capacitive-discharge, the capacitors in electronics sometimes hold on to extra energy, this releases that energy. I've done this to fix a lot of quirky electronic issues with cars. This built-up energy will prevent many electronic systems from doing a clean reset.
It was incredible!!!I have a tv that seems to be impossible to connect with the universal remote controllers, so it was hard because it's remote control didn't work. I tried your method and the old remote control is amazingly working fine.Thank you very much.Ana
Thank you! I just came across your video and gave it a shot. It truly did work. The good thing is I don't have to buy another remote all thanks to you and your video. Again thanks for posting and sharing!!!
It worked! I was just going to call my son to go to the store with me to get a new remote and so I googled my problem one more time. This video came up and now my remote will once again let me change sources! Bravo!!
Genius! Worked on the remote for my Christmas tree lights. We thought we were doomed! It's a Christmas Miracle! I'm going to name my first born after you!
Just want to add that I had an elderly friend call me and their remote was not working. Watched this short but very informative video, sent them instructions based on the video and it fixed the problem. Thank you for posting this!
The remote in our workplace was not working, and we're sitting there for about an hour already watching the news. WATCHED this video, it worked in an instant. Was shocked. Workmates clapped. THANK YOU! HAHAHAHA LOL
DUDE. This actually worked 😲 my Samsung remote wasn't working, i would turn TV on and try to press another button and it would just turn tv off 😒 So I tried this and it worked! 😁
I can't believe it! This worked! Everything worked except the post button. It took 1-2 minutes to finally come on or turn off the set. Everything else responded without issue. This did the trick for the power button!
I seriously thought this was some kind of joke...take batteries out, hold power button for a minute and then press all the buttons? How would that work? BUT IT WORKS!!!!! Thank you so much!!
I cannot thank you enough I swear to God I thought my parents were going to kill me but it worked and I am so happy definitely going to come back to this video if anything happens
I swear. this guy is a life saver i thought when I told my mom and dad they were going to kill me because my dad said this is the last remote I am getting 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Omg. You just saved me from spending $300 that i really didnt have to spend on a new tv. One of my buttons was stuck down. You're heaven sent. Thank you soooooo much. God bles
Ah thanks so much for the tip on draining the battery. Worked a treat for my LG 50inch. My 3 year is happy again he can watch paw patrol. Thanks again x
Oh my gosh! I'm at a hotel and my "OK" button on the remote stopped working. I followed the steps on this video and it started working again! WOW! I am in shock and very happy!
thank you so much!! i thought my remote had like water damage or something and i took out the batteries to try new ones and it kept turning my tv off whenever i tried to put the new batteries back in and i looked for every app on the app store and nothing was pairing to my tv so i just decided to youtube search it and you’re the first video i tried. thank you so much, this helped me 🙂
my remote was not working for like a year, i just lost belief in it and used tv buttons, but now there was a problem with tv signal, i needed remote to fix it and i found this video after 3 times REMOTE STARTED TO WORK!! tv problem solved too:) THANK YOU!
Add me to your very long list of grateful people! This fixed my remote after two tries of following your directions EXACTLY. Thank you so much! I think one of my grandkids sat on the remote - - no wonder a button might have been stuck...
My problem was my TV keep flashing "not available" on the screen. Tried this and Wow! it worked! Thanks my man! (Update) somehow the issue came back. Even tried replacing the battery. Still didn't work. Keep me posted if anyone found a solution. Cheers.
My Man. I just pulled up a random video because Best Buy where I purchased the TV is taking appointments only right now. I tried. This. It freaking works. I hope something good and unexpected comes your way.
Thank you for sharing this!! Was looking everywhere for a solution on my telus optik remote, and my Samsung remote! Both remotes decided to have a moment, and I did this to both, and now both are back up and running!
TLDW: Take batteries out, hold a button to drain the capacitors, then reinsert batteries and it will work. Video looks like a troll for first 1:20 but it actually works
i accidentally threw the tv remote while running around turns out, when i thew it, one of the buttons got stuck. tysm and i have no words to express how i thank you. you're so useful.
Thanks. I've just carried this out this on my remote and it's working apart from the number 4 button. That's still very stubborn. Wish I had seen this footage before buying new batteries.
Yayyy well done for the video. Such a simple fix! I thought I was going mad when all of my number buttons suddenly stopped working. Worked first time 🥳🥳🥳. Thanks 👍🏼
Thank you. My hisense remote had a red light after my daughter threw it in a mood. Turns out one button was slightly pressed in and this video helped fix it
Thank you so much! I had to turn my light off before I put the batteries in to resync the remote to the light, but it works now. I have a working fan and lights again!
OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO. I mostly think it's because we have the same tv but I don't care. I truly thank you! :)
lmfao, i tried this with my mother over the phone, she thought it was the dumbest thing but i told her it was that or buy a new one and she finally budged in and by the 4th try it worked.

It worked on my Samsung! As recommended, I tried the process three times and it finally operates. Thanks so much for saving me the cost of a new one!
I was so skeptical, but while holding down the power button, I felt something release in the remote... now it works! thank you!!

i had literally zero expectations for this to work, and it actually did!!
Exactly! I sighed and said - 50/50 chance, minutes of time, why not try it. So pleased!
Fantastic advice, it worked after just removing batteries 3 or 4 times & pressing Power for a minute each time. Thank you so much!👍
It was incredible!!!I have a tv that seems to be impossible to connect with the universal remote controllers, so it was hard because it's remote control didn't work. I tried your method and the old remote control is amazingly working fine.Thank you very much.Ana
