Re: TV remote not working - TIP

[quote=K.S.H;423497]Had a problem with the TV this morning, remote wouldn't turn tv on or off or change channels, it did work the volume though so I was undecided if it was a TV or a remote issue.
I rang the Samsung support line up (using www.saynoto0870.com to save paying 0870 prices)
What was the 1st thing he told me?

Yeah you got it - change the batteries I'd already done that and it didn't work.
2nd thing - Take the batteries out, point remote at TV and press power button for 2 mins

Hey, it worked its a static build up on the remote, handy to know for the future, thing is if I had taken this to the shop for repair what would they have charged me?? £50 at a guess .
probably thanks for letting us know .used to happen all thetime in the 70s when remotes first came out if you had keys in your pockets..
