Remote quits working. Twice cleaning worked. Just stopped working again. Have tried every trick I could find on Internet. Will never buy a cheap POS vizio again but if anyone has answer I would appreciate some help. Also tried universal remote but I became ridiculously tired of trying to find correct codes. You get what you pay for and that is especially true for electronics. Thank you.

You need to fix this your self, take the batteries out from the remote control, take something sharp like knife, and clean the springs where the batteries are placed, all of them needed to be cleaned. Try to check if this does work, if not then, take a flat screw driver, open the remote cover gently and use a bit of alchol or any solution, to clean the pcb board. Try to fit things back and check the remote again..this should work. We had done to most of remote control..it works...good luck.

Check your remote cell. and also then any other remote with your tv. If other remote working with your tv than the tv is ok. Now u need to open the remote manual and read it carefully. If u have no manual then try this trick as the most universal remote require settings. turn your tv on and press the mute button on your mobile for 30 to 45 seconds. As you tv show mute immediately release the mute button. Remote will start work again as it needs to correct code for different models. If no success try too contact the store from where u but it or buy new one

The "try the Samsung codes" suggestions works. I have a ONN (Seiki) LE-24G90. The first Samsung code on the HDTV list (1019) did the trick on my Telus CISCO ST6400 remote.

Most of the time the remote CPU is shorted and the remote is dead.But some time by taking the remote aparts,by cleanning the PCB board with some Q tips dipping in with some rubbing alchahol.Wait like about half hour,put the remote together again tried it,might work again,might not.Not,try website like Remotes.com to buy an exact remote to ur original remote.

Buy the Toshiba satellite. you will live longer....

this happens if you have a slow internet connection...

There is a high demand for the video

your video card is not up to snuff...

cheap fix... pause the video and wait till the red bar is all the way to the right or full...

then play...

if that still doesn't work then

upgrade memory... and do the pause trick

still doesn't work... upgrade video card and try pause trick...

still doesn't work... get a new computer...

Hello Jacqui,
When you press the number button or other buttons on the remote do they Feel Stuck? The reason I ask this is every remote I have ever Had always ends up getting something spilt on it.
If It feels like the button are sticking then you could always try cleaning it with a baby wipe or something similar Not a sopping wet cloth.

If the remote seems to be ok you can always check your remote is working. Firstly you will need a mobile phone that has a Camera on it.

With you mobile set it up so that your camera is on. Now what I would like you to do is Point your Samsung TV remote at it and press the buttons. Whilest you are looking at your remote through you phone you will notice that a light appears. This is due to the camera Phone not liking infra-red, ( you can not see this with the naked eye.) So try your power button and you will see what I mean. Now try the other buttons and you will see which buttons are not working and those that are.

If after doing this that certain buttons on the remote are not working full stop what I would suggest you do. Rather then buying another Samsung remote as they can be really expensive.

There is another way. A lot of your friends / family or maybe even yourself may have a Sky Remote lying about not doing anything.or you can buy them from Argos cheap enough.
Please follow the steps below and you will be able to tune your Sky remote To operate you TV

with the sky remote then.

Press TV
RED + SELECT ( hold this down until it flashes twice)
TV
0060

Try the volume if this works then press SELECT to save this to the remote. If not then press TV again then check the volume repeart this step until the volume works then Press SELECT to save the code to your remote.

Hope this helps you out and saves you some money buying an expensive replacement.

Thanks

buy yourself a cheap sky remote or get one off a friend or family member.

on the sky remote:

TV,
RED + SELECT (blinks twice)
TV,
0060
TV,
SELECT.

there you go you can now use this as a telly remote and change your channel over, volume, power, if you press the help button this will also change your source/av's

Cheers

i had the same problem dude...i had to keep the USB cord plugged into the remote so it can work and it wouldn't work wirelessly but I researched and made a risk on spending only $9 to buy a new battery from ebay....and bam! fixed it myself...works as if nothing happened ;)

Your remote is going bad and the only solution is to buy another one or buy a universal but it will only let you use the basic functions like play,rew,ff , stop and on time recording, I don think it will let you program for recording it or use the menu,a new remote will cost almost as much as a new VCR.The universal is a very inexpensive option.
