Had a problem with the TV this morning, remote wouldn't turn tv on or off or change channels, it did work the volume though so I was undecided if it was a TV or a remote issue.
I rang the Samsung support line up (using www.saynoto0870.com to save paying 0870 prices)
What was the 1st thing he told me?

Yeah you got it - change the batteries :mad: I'd already done that and it didn't work.
2nd thing - Take the batteries out, point remote at TV and press power button for 2 mins

Hey, it worked :D its a static build up on the remote, handy to know for the future, thing is if I had taken this to the shop for repair what would they have charged me?? £50 at a guess

Hope this works for you if your remote plays up sometime

Looks like it worked for someone else too, Karma left saying "remembered your post when my remote refused to work so a big thanks."
 
funny you should mention that ken....used that tip myself this very evening on the digi box remote...some more karma on its way :)
 
Glad it worked for you too, why don't they put this info in the trouble/fault finding section of the manuals :confused:
