LG TV: Remote Power Button Not Working? 3 Easy Solutions 

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

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

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

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

Hey guys I got a 65in lg tv that came with a slightly different remote my dogs chewed it up, got one again slightly slightly different and I’m having problems with it every now and then. Would that be my main problem?

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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.

Lg 55um7050 so what about no memory space error (cant watch any movie on internet)any solution????

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.

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. 😢

Holly cow, that did it! Thanks so much!!

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

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!😍

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😘😘😘

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

The power button light on my remote is keep on and whenever I press a button the light gets of so its working reversibly and buttons are not working, I will have to remove the batteries then it works for few seconds and again the same thing....can someone tell me what do?

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

Thanks man. It worked for me

It actually worked! Amazing! Thanks man!

I have an 42lg5000 When i plug the tv remote works I watch for a watch for a while i try to volume up wont work any button on remote and tv wont work , i have to unplug the tv and plug it in so the remote works again just for a short time then same probleme happens

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 RU-vid and Ur vedio I got saved Thanks✨

Great info. It worked! Thanks much 😊

My remote won't turn the TV on or off, but any button I hit the "mode cc on and off" shows up on the screen. I know it's getting some kind of signal. We have antenna TV if that would matter. And I've tried all the tricks mentioned here and other sites

I did not think this would work but it did. Thank you 🙏

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

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!

It worked thank you so much 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Ohhh tnx brother the second step work prefect!

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...

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

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.

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

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

You saved me from so much stress, thanks.

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

Thank you.., it really worked 👍

This helped a ton!! Thanks for the video

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

Thank you very much it worked by pulling the power cable out!!!

huge THANK YOUUUUUUUU 👌😁👍 it worked like charm

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

Bloody worked for me too. Magic dude

Thank you so much sir! It worked!

dude it really worked ... awesome bro thank you

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

The second solution worked. Thanks!

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.

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

My TV 7000 came with this remote and the tv supports voice talk but the remote doesn't have that setting. Any ideas?

Nope. Did 1 and 2. But no..I only have a antenna screw in the the nothing else. thats it. should I remove antenna then screw back in and unplug from wall and wait....ALL other buttons work except the on and of.... HELP.. help

Wow, option 2 worked for me! You are amazing
