TV remote control does not work

Every day several times each person uses a remote control from the TV and if he stopped working, then immediately there is a desire to find out the problem, then to fix it and as soon as possible. In this article we will consider the main reasons why the remote control from the TV does not work and what can be done.

Causes of the malfunction of the remote

If the remote does not switch channels then this can mean the following:

  1. The batteries sat down. You can determine this by the fact that the remote from the TV first does not work well, and then does not react at all to your efforts.
  2. The infrared signal sensor on the TV was broken. If it is not closed and the remote is working, then you should take another remote (of the same brand) and check if your TV turns on or does not turn on.
  3. The infrared transmitter has failed. You can check this by pointing the lens of the camera or phone to the red light bulb. If when you press the buttons, you see in it that the LED blinks, then everything is in order.
  4. The frequency of the messages was lost. You can talk about this problem if the console itself is a worker, other TVs react to it, and yours does not. This can be corrected only by specialists in remotely remodeling.
  5. The current-conducting rubber has deteriorated. Determine this is possible, if only the selected buttons on the remote do not work. This is due to overly active use of them or the ingress of fat from the skin of the hands. If you buy a new remote control device is problematic, then you can replace them.

It should be noted that the remote control is quite "gentle" technique, so if you drop it often or fill it with any liquid, it will fail very quickly.

The solution for people whose original remote controls from TVs is difficult to buy, the acquisition of a universal device that is able to work with different techniques and is characterized by better assembly.
