- Try this First!!! Before you take your tv remote apart or buy a new one try this method. If your tv remote is acting funny, has a mind of its own, if the power button is not working, or two or three other buttons are non-responsive make sure you watch this video all the through. I have fixed many remotes like this. 60-70% will have your remote working after watching this. If it works plz like and if not work plz dislike. We should see at least 60% likes on this video. thx.
This method can work with any TV remote doesn't matter if you have an LG, Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Sharp, Zenith, Vizio, TCL, Hisense, Sceptre, RCA, Polaroid, JVC, Skyworth, Westinghouse, etc.

After trying 10 times, throw remote out on street in front of a truck. Listen for the crunch. Order new remote.
😂🤣😂🤣LMAO Good one
Lmao
😂😂😂😂
We can't order remote because of coronavirus
@@erichelle-manalastasleonen7144 lmao
Wait what this actually worked???...this man is ahead of our times
See if he'll run for president!
Today it just worked on my jvc remote as well I was shocked bless the man it actually works man cool dude. 😅😂😂😂
Bro is videshi,
But this is Indian style😅
This actually worked! I thought I was about to buy a new remote.😂 Thank you very much❤❤
3 year old video still valid to this day. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Not valid to me but ok
There's no way it's 2022 and I'm still fixing technology by slapping it... Thanks a lot!!
worked for me!!!
Thank you for this comment. After trying everything. I read this and smacked it. And now it works 🤣🤣🤣🤣
yup i'm in this same boat, glad i saw this vid before angerly buying a new remote
I did not expect slapping my remote to work but it surprised me.
@@fayebrown3445 lol dude
So, basically remotes need a massage too....

I feed mine chocolate, - it never goes wrong

John Tailing silk flowers work better
Yeah
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my gosh, I can't believe this worked. I have a very unique remote for a preamp that's 22 years old. I've taken it apart, changed batteries, cleaned terminals, nothing worked, UNTIL NOW after following your directions! Thank you so much!
Just UNBELIEVABLE, thank you so much. Took ONE time only and boom!! Seems almost insane that something so simple simply works 😆😆
Honestly thought this was a joke but it really did work lol thanks
Yep! Just did it and it worked.
Chris Mannon it worked for me too after I have gave up on my remote and ordered a new one.
Awesome easy fix
Same here,, I really didn't think it would,, Thanks
It didn't work for me
Me and my dad was freaking out cuz our remote stopped working. And I try this and it worked. My dad was impressed with me and my self esteem goes up. Thank you.
😂😂 well played
As for the self esteem going up... am dead🤣🤣
I can't believe this actually worked. I was very skeptical, especially when it came to pushing all the buttons and smacking it, but it actually worked. Thank you for the video!
I was absolutely sceptical about this fix but, guess what? It works! Thank you so much 😊
It doesn’t work for me :(
WORKED! While I was on the phone with Cox and they were telling me they couldn't fix it, I found your video and it worked! I told her they should add the 'fix' to their support notes. Thank you so much.
Didn't work for me. I tried it several times.
I did like you said with the power button, but i also left the remote sitting without batteries for a few hours. Working like a charm now. Thanks!
I remember having to use the same 25 g
This actually worked, this video was so helpful I was stressed out to the tee, because I didn't want to buy a universal remote having to go through all of that drama. My remote actually ended up working thanks so much.
I want to thank you for this video. My Toshiba remote VC-522 was totally unresponsive on my W522CF VHS player. Your method of pressing the power button for 60 secs after removing batteries and then pressing all the buttons numerous times revived the REMOTE. I'm ecstatic because I was given this player & Remote to help transfer VHS tapes to digital MP4 files. This has made my life much easier for those projects. Thanks a million times over, because without a remote, the VHS player wasn't working up to full capacity! YES YES YES!
Thank you it worked great!!!! My remote didn’t work at all and after doing that it worked perfectly
I can't believe it. I'm still in shock. Finally, a troubleshooting video on CZcams that actually works! Thank you sir!
Byron Morris
Wow. It worked by severely beating the remote. Thanks you saved me $45, the cost of a new remote
Thank you so much.!!! It really worked. I didn't think it would. The person whose negative comment first on the list should try it first before he high handedly knocks it! It's now 2023 and it worked for me. Much appreciated by this granny.
This is actually worked .this is practically worked for me......if u don't believe it then just try it for once.....
It did not fix mine
Felt pretty stupid doing that, waited for the end of the video to hear it was a prank, or a Rick Roll....but it actually worked. 😮
It was a remote for window blinds. Did what ya said, and blew air through it, now works fine. Amazing.
You earned that 👍
It worked for me. My remote did NOT work.
Now it does. Seriously.
Thanks so much. Was going out to buy a new one, then went on line and saw this. You saved me buying a new remote. Thanks so much. I actually feel smart.
Worked for me too, Thanks a million. I should've known this tip! In I.T. if you have a laptop or computer that acts up we do the same thing to clear the cmos & "basically" reset your system.
Legend says he's still whacking that remote...
RokkYgAz The scientific key to this fix is the whack... and if you dont have it in you to whack properly youll be forever stuck on whatever channel you saw last.
hahahahahah nice one ;) but there is something to the notion of discharging a device and having it fixed that way...
Hahaha
Whackk
Hahahahahaha!
Yeah ...he’s whacko.
Oh my, your technique saved me from having to buy another remote. You are a gem. 😃
Haha, this works! My wife was laughing at me as I was randomly jabbing buttons for 10 minutes, but it was worth it. Thanks
I would like to extend my utmost gratitude. This is an excellent life hack for unresponsive buttons on a tv remote. I’ve had buttons that haven’t worked in years and I’ve gotten used to it until recently when I was officially fed up. Thank you so much. This works.
Buddy woooooow my remote has started working .....I had to cancel my Amazon 😂 thank you very much dude
Didn't expect this to work, but it did! It was last hope before buying a new remote! So absolutely fantastic
100% 👍 Fixed two remotes.
One for the TV and one for the android.
Unbelievable. 😂
Worked! Have jet lag in London and couldn’t get the blasted TV to turn on. Thank you!
This actually worked for me. 2 tries and remote surprisingly worked. I laughed at some of these comments. 😀I was sceptical too.
Watch my remote controllers development review, button assignment etc...czcams.com/video/irjGUvtjZAg/video.html
Dawn Preston I read your comment before I tried, it gave me hope and I couldn't wait to try. All four remotes are working.
My mind is actually boggled. I sat there screaming "what the heck?! Why did that work?" Over and over for like 3 minutes as im changing channels and clicking all the buttons jdjwjdjs
This…actually worked. I couldnt believe it. Thanks so much!!!!
Worked for me!!!!! My tv control was totally dead and after this trick is back to life!!! Thanks!!!
This is so amazing! It’s actually worked in my remote after 3 attempts. Thank you so much!!
Did this now all my buttons don’t work and the button that was not working is finally working Great!!!!
Just worked for me!!!😂😂😂 thank you so much. New remote ordered before I came across this video.
It’s always nice to have a back up remote.
Fantastic, I have an old Maplin 12v tv, Maplin stopped trading over 5 years ago, so no chance of buying a replacement remote, worked first time, thank you so much,
Nice one bro! My grandfather had a problem in his remote, and you brought me the solution! Thank you so much!
IT'S NOT WORKING
This is unbelievable. Following your advice, I managed to fix my TV box which had got wet and was out of order. Well done!
Damn, its 2024 now and it did work!!!! Thank you so much!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Huh. Made a noticeable difference on a 20 yr old Yamaha 5.1 receiver. Volume buttons have been crapping out lately and this seems to have brought them back to life a good bit. Still not 100%, but better than it was. Considering its age, I’m pretty impressed it’s doing anything at all.
Thanks.
😂😂😂 I watched this video...after realizing it was close to the end of the video I said “THIS is his advice!??” I tried it and it worked!
Thanks this worked for me.
My little one dropped the remote and it stopped working, after watching this and trying it, it has sprung to life again.
Thanks again
Say what? I just did my other remote in the living room..... My power button works again!!!
two for two. Thank you so much for this video.
My remote just working again!!!! I thought my Sharp Air Cooler remote control broken, and then I try this easy trick... this video save my money hahaha
I had a DVD player remote that didn't work, and I was feeling the same as the numerous skeptics out there. I tried this method and it works!
I didn’t think this had a “remote” chance of working? I was wrong! Worked like a charm! Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Using this method I fixed the remote in minutes! You've made my husband so happy!! Wonderful.
Bruh..... I was not expecting that to work, but it worked GREAT!! THANK YOU
Tried it twice and it worked !! I was at one point going bonkers and didn't know what to do. Then I said there must be a solution on the internet, and you were the very first option. Thanks guy 👍👍👍👍 you saved my day and my sanity
And saved you from rage
Holy moly thank you remote professor my remote works now smoothly I trued this in today dated 8 July wednesday 2020....my remote is working fine....but before it was kinda cranky and just switching channels automatically and i tried this method gave a remote a freaking massage touched all the buttons and gave it a good whack two to five times checked and boom it works normal....this is an honest review I have not been paid neither have i been forced to do this review....thank you have subbed and liked
Still works! Glad I found this vid before spending 10 bucks on Amazon. Sometimes, the simple methods are truly the best. Thanks for posting!!!
amazing - this worked first time after I spilled water over the remote and thought it was gone. thank youuu :)
I watched this video and thought "yeah I don't think so" and not expecting it to work I did as instructed. I was amazed to find that the 2 buttons (+ - volume controls) which did not work ; have now started working perfectly. INCREDIBLE ! I am an electronics engineer and I have never heard of this procedure but Hey! it works. Thank you very much for your video.
SAME
you can use the channel up button to power up the tv
As an electronics engineer I was sceptical but after 2 tries this method really works, amazing! Thanks and apologies for my scepticism
It's unbelievable 😮 it worked.... thank you ever so much!!!! It is nearly 2024 😂😂😂
Just follow the instruction one time and it really works. Unbelievable . Thank you WorldofTech, you are wonderful.
Okay, it took three tries and a new set of batteries, but this actually worked. I was astounded, particularly as the first two times were a no go.
Thank you! (Poor remote, lost for weeks under a pile of stuff, collecting dust...)
I cant believe but it worked. Thank u so much
AWESOME!!! worked like a charm! Been trying to find the solution on why my remote for my Samsung Blue ray player ( UBD-M8500) remote would not work for over 3 hrs. I finally decided to check CZcams videos on fixing the matter and stumbled on your video. Thank you for relieving my headache!
Thank You for this Idea to fix the TV Remote at Home it was a Good Help to Anyone...
Tried it 5 times - didn't work. Left the batteries out overnight and it worked! Thank you.
It was one of the most aggressive videos I have ever watched
Hahahahahaha
Well this less aggressive compared to an Asian user having the same issue on the remote.
Hahaha no way bro It actually worked when I first watched I thought this was a troll but I thought screw it and done it and it works now! Thanks man
I can’t believe this worked!! It worked in the first attempt. This is crazy!!!! You are amazing, man. Keep up your good work!!
Folks, this is not a joke. Do try this!
I was skeptical about this but it worked!!! I had to do it three times and I'm glad I stuck with it because now my Tivo has full functionally again. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I had trouble with my TV remote for the last couple of nights. It didn’t matter how many new batteries I put in there, it still didn’t work until I watch your video. And the method worked for me. Thanks. 😊
Mine still isn’t working
I was just about to take my remote apart. Dude it worked like a charm. Thanks. Didn't have to call support and be in the phone for 2 hours until they say you need to purchase a new one.
Thanks
this may sound crazy but this ACTUALLY WORKED, i was ready to buy another remote
Noooooooooo waaaaaaaaaay!!!!! This ACTUALLY WORKED. I was getting ready to buy a new/universal remote and decided to Google a fix as a last ditch effort and I found this video. It worked on the first try for me. Thumbs up all the way.
Frickin' unbelievable! Worked 1st time after following the instructions! So happy I tried this before heading out to buy a new remote, thank you so much for posting these instructions. Your optimistic tone helped me believe it would work and VOILA!
Mine didn't work , but thank you!
Not working! Tried 4x😳😎
I was at the end of my tether I just couldn’t figure out what had happened. Thank you so much this has helped I am in disbelief I didn’t even have to press all the buttons much coz I was a bit sceptical but what do you know. Thank you smiling so much right now😃
You are a genius! One month ago, I dropped the remote control for my old Toshiba TV, model MW20H63. Instantly, it stopped working; would not even turn on the TV. What to do? The original remote control for my TV has been discontinued. Toshiba would not even provide customer support for older models like mine. I bought 4 different replacements, all supposedly “universal”. They did turn on the TV, but would not allow me to chose a channel by pressing the channel number chosen, then dash (-), then 1, which my old remote control allowed me to do. With the replacements, I had to use the up-down buttons to get to the chosen channel, a longer, more tiring route.
Today, I followed your technique: I took out the batteries, pressed the power button for at least one minute, pressed all the buttons, and whacked the whole remote several times against my palm; repeated the process three times; replaced the batteries; and PRONTO! The goddamn thing worked! It turned on my good old TV and allowed me to quickly get the channel I wanted simply with: The chosen channel number -dash-1. Gracias!
Cannotbelievable
Thank you for your instructions! This worked!
Much appreciated.
I was so sceptical about it, I tried it once and yikes it worked for me... I was thinking of getting rid of my home theatre! Thanks a bunch dude!
Holy Crap, had my doubts but this actually worked.
Did it heck
I've just fixed my remote, it's working 100%. Thanks (Bongani from South Africa)
Omg I just did this and it fixed my remote!!!!! 2024 here and I can't believe this worked!!! Thank you
OMG this works. I almost threw away 1 controller and the controller for my 2nd TV was also playing up. Followed this video and they BOTH work perfectly. Thank you.
Forgot to say it worked first time
Had my Marantz remote fixed which cost £30 but 2 months later it stopped again. I was very cynical about the simplicity of your video but it worked!!
Many thanks
WTF!!!! First try and my power button works again. Lunch is on me. My lazy @$$ having to reach across my 6 foot desk was driving me crazy. You basically solved 3 issues with one process, good work!! Thank you again.
Just tried this worked first time like a charm...my girlfriend nearly died when it worked 😂😂 thanks 🙏🏻
Worked for me too thx God
Lmao this definitely worked.. I thought it was bullshit! Thank you bc I was definitely getting pissed looking for codes for this other universal remote.
I was sceptical but it actually worked. I can’t believe it! Thanks!
Wow, removed batteries, pressed the power button one minute three times, pressed buttons randomly all many times, slapped with hand and hit on hand palm. Added batteries and working fine, great idea, still idea working 2022 Dec. Kudos to Author 👍
Wow! It took six tries but it finally worked. I did not believe this would do any good but figured the remote wasn't working anyway so I might as well give it a try and relieve some frustration at the same time. This was an old remote for a DVD/VHS combo and would not have been easily replaced so I'm extremely happy that it's "fixed".
Good
Every single button has been working fine on the remote EXCEPT the power button.
It was great reading through the comments to see how many people this helped. After 4 tries of this, I unfortunately did have to take my remote apart - there ended up being massive dust collection even on the motherboard, so after cleaning that off, the power button finally worked.
I’ll be sure to give this a try again in the future should I encounter an issue with a remote again. Thanks!
all of my buttons did not work even the power botton
Ima open my controller if this doesn't work
all my buttons are weird u have to click really hard on it for it to register
Same @@Dackered
90 like😊
This worked. Thank you! I tried removing the batteries and holding each button down one by one for 3 seconds each. That did not work, but this did on the first try! Amazing. You are a genius!
Seriously, it just WORKED! I dropped mine in water. I sat it on my dehumidifier. Nothing. Worked only on some buttons.
Did ur method and it went screwy for a minute then started working! Thanks SO MUCH.
Worked for me! Only the volume buttons worked after I'd turn on the TV manually. I figured it was worth a try and felt silly pushing the buttons, but it worked the first time and this is an older Phillips remote that isn't the same brand as the TV. Thank you!
Same problem as yours... Volume button to increase the sound does not work... Sadly this procedure hasn't fixed...
I had a remote for a receiver that was in storage for 3 years, and when attempting to use it again it wouldn’t operate. I removed the batteries which had leaked, and cleaned it from the inside, but still no luck with brand new batteries. After nearly tossing it into the garbage, I saw this video. A replacement for this model of receiver was unfortunately not available. So even though I was skeptical, I thought I may as well give a try to the suggestions raised in this video. And it worked, the remote was brought back to life! Thanks so much for producing this video!
Me too. I found it stupid at first.. worked like magic.. this guy is a genious.. saved me like 20bucks for a new one..
This video is a godsend even after 4 years! Thank you!
It worked wonderfullly, I followed what was shown in the video and now my remote is back to normal. Thanks.
It totally worked! It took 3 tries, Thank you! It saved me from having to buy a new remote!
We could not believe this actually worked! We were like “yah right!” AND then it WORKED! Thank you!
I was so dead worried about my remote not working cause it was new. I bought them 6 months ago.I changed the batteries,then I put the old batteries,then I tapped it and at last I was about to open up the remote but Thank goodness I saw your vedio or I would have ripped it into half😂 it only took me one round to fix the remote again Thank YOU bro❤❤
I am in absolute awe. This actually worked for me. As I was going through the steps, I thought to myself...we're being punked for views. My remote actually works. Thank you sooooooooo much 🎉
I was reading all the comments while massaging my remote and felt so stupid doing it. It actually worked for mine I’m shook
It worked for skeptical me and im tickled😅
So true same here, simply couldn't believe my eyes , it worked..
You massaged your remote lmao... mine doesn't work nor does the new one
