Why is the button on my car remote not working?

People sometimes tend to push the buttons too hard with their nails which will deattach the button from the circuit board as a result it will not work. IF YOU WANT TO FIX IT RIGHT USE A SOLDDERING GUN; however, you have to be pretty good with the soldering gun or you will mess up the remote.

What to do if your TV remote is not working?

One Minute Fix- Try this method first before going out to buy another TV remote. I have fixed numerous TV remotes (and sound bar remotes) by using this method. With the batteries out and holding down the power button you are basically draining all excess battery.

How can I get my sound back on my TV?

Try power cycling both your tv and Youview boxes (ie turn off the power to both, wait 30 secs, then turn then back on). It may do the trick. You don’t need to turn off the you view box at the mains, you just need to get back the volume control to your you view remote which for some reason has lost the control.

Where do I find the mute button on my TV?

The symbol appears in the right hand corner. The Mute symbol from the YouView box appears in the middle of the screen. If you’re seeing one in the top corner of the screen it’s more likely the one from your TV. If you press the mute or volume button on the TV remote does the symbol go away? Hi Julie.

Why is the power button on my TV remote not working?

With the batteries out and holding down the power button you are basically draining all excess battery. Then by pressing each and every button in and out a few times you are basically releasing a stuck button. Note that draining the excess battery works the same on smartphones and laptops that is on but you cant see the screen or display.
