TV Remote FIXED! Not Working, Button not Working, or Power Button- Try This First!

One Minute Fix- Try this method first before going out to buy another TV remote. I have fixed numerous TV remotes (and sound bar remotes) by using this method. With the batteries out and holding down the power button you are basically draining all excess battery. Then by pressing each and every button in and out a few times you are basically releasing a stuck button.

Note that draining the excess battery works the same on smartphones and laptops that is on but you cant see the screen or display. So try this method if you have a laptop or Android phone laying around your home that has a black screen problem.

Hope you find this video helpful and please subscribe, like & share. Thank you!

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 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!

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!!

This worked for me !!! Thank you, you really saved my life lol, none of the shops even tried to fix my remote cuz it's from an unknown company.

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!

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!!!

I was so skeptical, but while holding down the power button, I felt something release in the remote... now it works! thank you!!

Fantastic advice, it worked after just removing batteries 3 or 4 times & pressing Power for a minute each time. Thank you so much!👍

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!

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
