I cannot believe this actually worked. I had very little faith, but I tried it. My Onkyo RC-690M remote recently became semi-responsive when trying to operate my Onkyo TX-SR876 Receiver... But it's working after doing this. Thank you!!

[@calypso402east]

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!

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!

[@KarenAllisonrc]

Oh my, your technique saved me from having to buy another remote. You are a gem. 😃

[@user-gd5si2sd2j]

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!

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!

The tv worked fine but the remote did not. So I opened up the remote and cleaned the inside, which was full of grease, coffee, some old white battery build up stuff and dirt but still was not working. I was about to give up but I saw this video, gave everything you said a try and it WORKED FIRST TIME! Now I don't have to buy another remote.
