TV remote not working - TIP
 

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 :mad: 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 :D 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

Hope this works for you if your remote plays up sometime

Re: TV remote not working - TIP
 

Iam glad you got it sorted

Re: TV remote not working - TIP
 

Looks like it worked for someone else too, Karma left saying "remembered your post when my remote refused to work so a big thanks."

Re: TV remote not working - TIP
 

funny you should mention that ken....used that tip myself this very evening on the digi box remote...some more karma on its way :)

Re: TV remote not working - TIP
 

Glad it worked for you too, why don't they put this info in the trouble/fault finding section of the manuals :confused:

Because all of them £40 to get the remotes fixed would disappear!!!!
