It worked!! Holding it down for 30 seconds after turning off TV, removing batteries and pressing all buttons. My TV isn't LG either. Thank you!

[@mr.dalton9507]

My 12 year old daughter helped me with this. Thanks so much for showing this!

[@bentricky]

Wow, I just unplugged the TV while I pushed all the remote buttons. It worked first time. Thanks

[@miguelangelvasquez2327]

Disconnected the TV, pulled the batteries out, did the whole button pressing method, I’ll be very honest - I did not have much hope for this haha you’re the man!

[@martinarnsdale8662]

Solution number two with the button mashing legit worked! Thank you! #legend

[@rn7594]

I pressed and hold the failed button for 30 seconds and it works again. Thank you for your helpful video.

[@aawendydotcom6349]

Omg thank you it worked I had to go all the way through all the steps, I think my fire stick or chrome cast was interfering with the remote. Thank You again for the helpful video!😍

[@Emmanuel4]

Thankyou so so much I thought my remote is gone 🤧but because of you it didn't 😂 Thankyou ✨ Actually I accidentally dropped my remote..and I thought it dead and mom dad will going to make me dead too hehe😂...but because of KZbin and Ur vedio I got saved Thanks✨

[@hvrlem-4k639]

Wow, well got to admit I was a bit iffy on these techniques but NO2. Step worked for me. So thank you buddy.

[@Vedant_Halde]

Last Trick Really Worked!! Great work Man Appreciated. Guess this problem occurs while thunderstorms.

[@Artsymeholly85]

Omg. If I could find you and give you a big hug right now, I would. Just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out this remote and this is the first video that helped!!!

[@ghulamzakeriaahmadi9106]

You are genius for this . I followed the second step and it worked. Thanks

[@slon5634]

The crazy button press worked for me... you just saved me £29... thanks man!!!

[@Herox-ln8zu]

Omg thx I littarally had urgent work in my tv and becz of you I could fix it.u don't know how much this means to me

[@moey0404]

Prolly fncs

[@detroithousemusic]

Dog got a hold of remote and caused a button to stick. Thank you!!!!

[@mauricemcmonagle5891]

Superb mate,worked no bother,second option,worked no bother ,thanks mate

[@medicalshirt]

Thank you, in my situation where the SONY sound bar is in front of the LGTV I merely had to turn OFF the sound bar IR repeater function because when it was ON it actually interfered with the LGTV magic remote on/off signal reception.

[@stevenpaul5540]

Probably the most common problem is that the infrared eye at the bottom of the tv is blocked. The tv sits pretty low, so if you have a sound bar that is slightly taller than the eye ,your on/off button won’t work. The rest of the buttons work on R.F that’s why they are not effected. Try moving the sound bar a couple inches away from the TV. This solved my problem.

[@keee2x337]

Awesome dude ! Mine started to work on the 3 rd step !!

[@jf1837]

Thank you so much! It worked! My remote somehow stopped working and would only take me to the home screen of my room and nothing else. But the third tip helped fix it!

[@madamwarnikhilkumar]

Really amazzzingggg 😯, Thanks alottt it worked with step 2 👻👻👍 Note : Mine is not LG TV, it's OnePlus

[@dulalrabha5977]

I followed your tips today (14/12/22) on my AOC LED TV & surprisingly it worked. Thanks.

[@monezabala]

Dang, I have watched a lot of videos so far and I got your video and you solved my remote controller problem... thaàaank yoooou....n😘😘😘

[@Justbeingpotato10]

Thank you bro u dont know how much this means to me🎉🎉🎉

[@mattdickstein3812]

Power button control was sporadic. Often had to press 4-5 times to turn TV on/off. 30 sec. power reset fixed it. Thanks!

[@RadiationNetwork]

One other cause. On many LG TV’s like the 55” B6 OLED all the buttons on the remote are Radio Frequency but the ON/OFF Power Button uses IR (infrared) If you have a sound bar or anything blocking the IR port all the Buttons on the remote will work but the TV will not turn on and off. Check if something is blocking the remotes IR from hitting the IR port. On my LG it’s at the bottom center next to the manual power button and LED light.

[@stevenc8950]

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I have an LG OLED 77C1PUB and could not figure out why all the remote functions worked except the on/off button. And of course, my soundbar was blocking the infrared receiver on the TV. Problem solved thanks to you. 😀

[@rajeshwerreddyk]

Wow, perfect answer Thank you

[@elmauro86]

I have just solved my issue with your explanation! I overlooked the soundbar blocking the tv ir receiver 😂 Thanks!

[@dalehrncirik976]

If this doesn't work try this. It worked for me but I uses a cotton swab with WD-40 on it to clean out the remote in on the back of the TV. Remote worked after I did this.... Try this simple solution if your remote stops working I had the same problem . I have a few remotes that were programmed to operate the television. It was highly unlikely that all 3 of the remotes were defective or with bad batteries since the other components like stereo and the cable box would work with the same remotes. I assumed the problem lied with the receiver on the TV. It turned out to be the TV but not the receiver itself. Let me explain, there is a "REMOTE IN" jack on the back of the TV to connect an external wired remote. When you plug in an external wired remote, it deactives the IR sensor. But the problem was that I didn't have an external remote plugged in there. What happens is that some corrosion builds up in the connector behind the TV which causes the circuit to close and deactives the IR receiver, all that is required is to unplug the TV from power source, squirt some WD-40 (only a little) into the connector hole behind the TV and use any 3.5mm plug like a headphone jack and plug-unplug a dozen times to loosen any build-up in the plug which I did and now the TV receives the signals from the IR remote. It worked like a charm for me....the entire fix took less than a minute. I hope this helps anyone out there with the same problem.

[@lightson119]

Wow, pressing all the buttons worked!!!! Thank you!!

[@prateekgupta1154]

I am amazed to see This trick is really working Tha k you friend Stay blessed

[@annmariedobbin4369]

Thankyou so much you saved me more stress! I would never of thought to remove batteries and press all the buttons, and it worked! 😊

[@MarjorieHoughton]

First fix sorted it. Can’t believe it. Thankyou so much .

[@prashanthshivasubramani5134]

Wow, option 2 worked for me! You are amazing

[@Slimescreates]

You saved me from so much stress, thanks.

[@dM-gt4nm]

It actually worked! Amazing! Thanks man!

[@juliewainaina2107]

Oh ! Thanks so much . You are a life saver. Mine worked after the second try when I took out the battery and messes around with all the buttons

[@lomakaro3107]

Woow it works magic..just did it now n my TV now responding to the remote..Good job

[@tralala4826]

Press every single button worked !! Thank you so much !

[@mafiteka5016]

Ohhh tnx brother the second step work prefect!

[@SeurogerioBr]

I fixed it on my TV. In my case, it was a metal laptop support, unmounted, placed under the TV central sensor (near the red light). I moved it back. Remote control started working smoothly again...

[@soniyamishra7003]

you are really great sir..now my smart t.v is on😊

[@arielmurray6086]

It worked thank you so much 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@eskindrneway7261]

Hi brow, I thank you. It works for Konka tv remote control with in the first step troubleshooting your method. Unplug the socket wall for 30 seconds and reconnect then press the power button a little harder for more than 10 times while the tv running on it works right away. Thank you again I'm from Ethiopia.

[@foensh1268]

The second solution worked. Thanks!

[@oneika3032]

It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you so much

[@anishshrestha9548]

really did your tv controlling button worked?

[@BMF_kyyz]

THANK YOUU it was not working for days thanks to you it works

[@janetteeligino588]

You’re good! The second tip works on my remote. Thanks.

[@DJVibeDubstep]

What worked for me was taking the remote apart and wiping the circuit board with a towel. It looked clean but apparently wasn’t. After that it worked fine.

[@demonezra]

Thanks man. It worked for me

[@tracy_youngblood8751]

yooo wtf i was soo sceptical about the second thing (because my remote allways stays clean and i use it only to turn on/off the tv cuz i only game on it) and it did work!!!

[@tonyrain8706]

I don't normally be comments but I was so frustrated with this TV & this worked.

[@sujash11]

Thank you so much! it worked I did step 1 and step 2 and it worked. Very useful video

[@qataripekarsky]

Your button-mashing technique resolved my issue. Thank you so much for sharing this helpful troubleshooting video!

[@richardhalpin7459]

Thanks done all steps so not sure which one fixed it but it works.

[@aadeleyeseun]

Thanks bro. Mashing all buttons worked for mine😊

[@orhanturkoglu1982]

It really worked thanks man you are the king 🤴

[@pstxd]

Omg! These tips work! I was nervous that my sister eill kill me.. BUT TYSMM!!!!

[@sunwahchillioils]

Thanks, step one worked 👍

[@GrahamLeach]

To see if your infrared is working, look at it through your mobile phone camera as you press the power button.

[@rajasreepurushothaman4900]

Thanks. I tried and It's working for my one+ tv also.

[@xxxDreamWeaver1958]

What worked for me was to push the microphone button and say "TURN OFF TV"! "VOILA"!!! Yay! I figured it out!!!

[@pixman100]

Thank you so much -did step 1 and step 2 it worked..what a great help you are..

[@Berrypancakes229]

Good solution for LG TV owner’s 😊👍

[@user-kh6ke8re9w]

Yeah girl its so cool 😃😃😛😛

[@AvinashRathod]

WORKS WORKS WORKS, i have a magic remote and no dongles or usb attached to the TV. The power button was just behaving weird, had to press multiple times to get the tv ON. I unplugged the TV for a little more than 30 seconds. Removed the remote batteries , pressed power for 30 seconds, then more than 10 times clicked the power button and then the frenzy step till fingers hurt. Popped back the batteries. Turned on TV , Crossed fingers 🤞🏽 and hit the power button. VOILA , in just a single click it WORKED , tested it some 5 times now and its working fine. A BIG THANKS. Your video featured a bit lower in my search about how to open a LG remote ( for cleaning dust) , but no opening required. Thanks again.

[@codoundiaye8331]

Omg thanks much I was so tired 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

It worked..thanks a lot

[@batikungu7455]

thx bro ..worked 👍

[@kennethseeley889]

I used the series of buttons to set sleep timer on, mainly the navigation and select. Fault started 2nd winter time a few weeks before Christmas. The down, right & select buuttons only worked infrequently but in the following Spring & summer it was ok on these buttons. This winter all 3 buttons rarely work & all others okay. The RH can be replaced or subbed by the LH Nav button as can the UP button sub the DOWN, but the select button is now 99% useless so replacing remote. 😢

[@willpowerfpv3246]

A lot of happy people in these comments, unfortunately for me and none of these seem to work. I even have two different remotes programmed and neither of them will turn the TV on/off..😕 Quick update: my remotes still don't work, but I can turn the TV on and off with the LG app on my phone. Pretty strange.

[@scottmoberg9482]

I have the same issue right now with my LG OLED. Who the fuck makes a TV with no power button?!?!?

[@willpowerfpv3246]

@@scottmoberg9482 do you mean there's no power button on your television set, itself? On the underside of mine in the centre is a directional pad with a centre enter button. I have to hold it down for 5 seconds to turn the TV off manually. Since I made this comment, the only fix I found is to download the LG smartphone remote control app, and after using it a few times, my power button on the remote started working again. It happened once again since then, and I did the same thing and now it works again. Pretty strange.

[@scottmoberg9482]

@@willpowerfpv3246 Yeah, my model (OLED55C8PUA) doesn’t have that power button. The app is working for me right now but it’s a pain in the ass… the kids don’t have the app installed and I’m not always home. It’s a stupid solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist. I love my TV but between this problem and the audio/video sync issues I’m constantly dealing with on my LG sound bar, I’m frustrated with the brand

[@willpowerfpv3246]

@@scottmoberg9482 unreal! Very stupid design! Sorry to hear that..I'll definitely keep that in mind for my next set purchase. The rest of it is great, but if we're both watching a KZbin video about, it's obviously a common issue. No button...wow....what are we doing in 2021..lol
