My original remote was programmed to switch my LG TV On and Off using a code from the user manual. Recently the TV Standby Button has become erratic and can take many presses before it works. I tried new batteries but the problem remained. I purchased a replacement remote that looks identical to the original apart from the HUMAX branding and it works OK apart from the fact that I can't program it to operate the TV. I've tried all the codes in the user guide without any luck. Pity I didn't write down the code I used before! Any suggestions before I send it back for a refund?

Quite a lot of these replacements will ONLY operate the Humax, and do not support controlling other devices.
This is usually stated in the advertisement, but if not - check with your supplier and ask for a refund.| Fri 9 Dec 2022 17:02:23 #2 | -
Returned it for a refund and ordered a genuine Humax one instead. I guess you get what you pay for!

If you are very careful, you can prise the Humax remote top and bottom parts apart (you may need a sharp but stiff blade - Swiss Army Knife perhaps) and wipe the grease off the rubber contacts with a cotton bud to get them going again.
I would suggest not removing the foil from inside the remote from the rest as it doesn't seem normally to be a problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a go at it and if it works I'll have a spare!
