Lg Magic Remote wheel fix

LG TV magic remote model AN MR- 600, this video will show you when magic remote wheel doesn't click or wheel gets stuck

There should be a class action lawsuit over this design. A super thin plastic axle that is subjected to bending stress every time you 'click' the wheel. This was a deliberate decision to skip maybe one manufacturing step and sell more remotes on the back end.

I watched your video a year ago when our remote of about 3 years old broke but we decided to order a new one than do this. There is one one place we found selling official LG remotes and it wasnt an LG site? I find that odd. So here we are with a broken wheel again! We do have different gage wires but may be same issue with being too thin to stay inside the wheel. But knowing what it needs is the key! Thanks so much! In reality they dont need to make the wheel "click". That should be a separate button but in reality the only ENTER function is clicking a wheel that HAS to spin. But the entire thing could be changed the arrows around the circle have same function as the spinning wheel. And up and down arrows. So two choices on that! The middle could just be a clicker only. And the red arrow is also a pointer. The only thing that counts is the one thing that breaks. Enter! It also doesnt have to simulate a mouse for computer. They need to keep it simple. And will be writing to them!

For those wondering how to pry open the case (since it’s not shown in the video), I found a plastic card (like a credit card) works nicely, although it ruins the card a bit, so perhaps pick one you don’t care much about (membership card to something).

You saved me from buying a new remote, the scroller was not working for 2 years n I decided to check how I can fix it.. thank you 😊

Thank you very much Mr Alam. It was very helpful to fixed my LG signature magic remote control MODEL: AN-MR700. My remote wheel's left tiny part was broke not the click part like you. I couldn't scroll it. I have used same toothpick method and it's working just fine. Thank you again.

It's looks you are Desi and lives in England but not sure country of origin. I am Bangladeshi Bengali. আপনাকে আবারো অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ এবং কৃতজ্ঞতা।

Thank you very much, Your video gave me the confidence to open the remote and fix it myself even when my issue was little bit different

I was about to order a new one untill I stumbled on this vid. So having nothing to lose, I tried it: Worked like a charm. My toothpick didnt fit, zo I had to make it smaller by "splitting" it into smaller parts. Perfect, thanks!

This remote is so bad in quality... how can they give a plastic garbage like this for oled models?

[claudiamagana]

Thank you so much!! Your video save me a lot of money 😊

[redscorpion]

Thanks, I had to do mines differently because the other part broke off to connect but Im goad you showed me its easy to open the Controller and make adjustments

[Jeffdr]

Well done! I followed your video and the remote is repaired! Thnx.

Thank you very much! I had one that just quit electronically. I was sent a replacement and bazar misfortune spilt liter fluid on it and the witch fused the 4 way button. Following your lead I was able to open that clam shell and swop the faces out. Walla back in business.

I havent tried fixing ours yet but if you need a small pry to open it try glasses screw drivers or sewing machine accesories. I have many vintage machines so many small tools. Even those old keys to open cans they have a skinny pry end. Once you get it open a bit on one side run a dime or something around it. Ive done this on lots of tiny hard to open doors etc. on kids toys, machine parts, even the dang metal key rings that break your nails. Start skinny and work your way around with thicker items.

For me, the other ‘axle’ of the wheel- the one that goes inside the switch was broken.
So I did this :
- Picked out the broken part of the ‘axle’ from the switch using a sharp pointed pick.
- put the wheel on a vice so it remains upright.
- little bit filing on the wheel where the axle connects to make a smooth joint.
- Using a magnifying glass as a aid, i put a very tiny amount of super glue on the wheel.
- using tweezers, i gently placed the broken axle on the wheel, just making it sit, without any force. then let it dry.
- mixed up some 2 part epoxy and using a toothpic, I applied to the joint.
Let it dry for 12 hours and put everything back. Voila !
Now thinking about my steps, I think I should have made a separate video out of it.
