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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

Wasn't aware phones camera would show the remote working, that helps a lot to troubleshoot, thanks!

[jimhughes]

Great. Worked fine after alcohol clean. Excellent video.

This procedure cleans very well, I have used it too to clean wireless phones.

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.
