I have a Samsung BN59-00840a remote, how do I turn the auto backlit function off? It does NOT have the lightbulb button and burns through batteries

If the BD/receiver button on your Samsung AH59-02402A remote is continuously lit up and the remote isn't working, it may indicate that the remote is stuck in the wrong mode. Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try:

1. Check the batteries: Replace the batteries in the remote and ensure they are inserted correctly.
2. Reset the remote: Remove the batteries from the remote and press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. Then, reinsert the batteries and try using the remote again.
3. Check the mode button: Make sure that the mode button (e.g., BD/receiver, TV, cable) is not stuck. Press each mode button a few times to see if it's responsive.
4. Re-sync the remote: If your remote is designed to control multiple devices, such as a TV and a home theater system, try re-syncing it with your device. Consult the user manual for instructions on how to do this.
5. Try a universal remote: If none of the above steps work, you can try using a universal remote that's compatible with your home theater system.

If none of these steps work, it's possible that your remote is faulty and needs to be replaced. Contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.

Try switching the "Source" to TV (click on "Source" button on the remote), then going to Menu>System>Screen Burn Protection. It shouldn't be grayed out anymore and you can adjust it. Then switch the Source back to whatever it was before.

There is no key to push to test the batteries. Just replace with new batteries to see if that helps.

If you just want the LCD backlit turned on, press and hold the program button on the back of the remote until the remote gives a long tone, that indicates that you've entered programming mode. Then within 5 seconds of entering programming mode press the the unlock button. The remote will beep once for backlight on and twice for backlight off. In the "on" setting your backlight will turn on each time a button on the remote is pressed. It will run down your battery faster though. It's the same for both the 990 and the 950 remotes.

Hello. Here I found some quite simple solution how to make it works

Push and release the learn button on the back of the opener. It will be a square button. A little light will come on next to the opener. Then press and hold the button on the remote that you want to program if there is more than one button. The lightbulb on the opener will blink once. If there is not a lightbulb installed, you will hear a click.

If the Psp turns on and you can hear the O/s " Operating system start up, your backlite has burned out. This is a common problem with alot of handheld products and isnt so difficult to replace. You will need the tools to open and replace including a new lcd or backlite. (Ebay.com) sells backlites and lcd combo's at a reduced price. If you are under a 1 year warenty give sony a call, but dont tell them you think its the backlite, ask alot of questions and see if its covered, mabye a full replacement can be sent to you only the cost of Shipping. Give it a try and if no luck mabye I can jot down the steps to remove and replace the backlite.
Notice: The backlite may not be the problem, if you replace the backlite and it still is un-functional, then you will have to replace the lcd. The backlight is easy to replace if you take your time and isnt as cheaper to do then a whole lcd replacement.

Try "auto search" with your remote. Normally you press the TV button and the "OK/Select" button simultaneously for about 3 seconds untill the TV light burns steady. Then press "channel up" one press at a time untill the TV turns off. When it turns off, then press "power" on your remote and if the TV comes back on, test the other functions such as volume and mute. If all functions work, then press the "TV" button one more time to save the code and then you are "in business". If functions do not work, then continue to press "channel up" untill the TV shuts off a second time. Then press "power" and test all functions. Continue repeating this until you find a code that enables all desired functions. Hope this helps.
