I have a HUMAX FVP-4000T Freeview. The original remote sometimes takes several presses before I can get the Guide or Memu. It will work if I am patient. I have just purchased a new RM-L03 remote on ebay which appears to be a Chinese copy of the original Chinese remote. When I press any key the red button lights up but nothing happens: all keys are the same The seller sent me a replacement but this is the same. The description says you don't have to do anything before use. I could send pics but cant see how to attach them.
Does anyone know what I need to do to get a working remote?

You have checked the batteries?| Fri 27 May 2022 13:46:38 #4 | -
Batteries are new.
I contacted Humax who said the RM-L03 was no longer available. They said later Humax FVP-4000T were supplied with the RM-L08. I dont know if the 4000T was changed to match it or if the RM-L08 would work with all 4000T models| Fri 27 May 2022 14:02:48 #5 | -

I have since been in touch with both Samsung and Humax Support. My TV is a Samsung ue66ks7000u vn3 ser num 08TH3SHH900674B. A universal remote can be matched to a TV by pressing two buttons and entering a 3 digit code. Unfortunately there are 32 possibles listed and neither Humax nor Samsung know which one applies. Samsung say Humax makes the list!

Does anyone know what I need to do to get a working remote?The Humax made remotes can be set up to use 1 of 6 modes.
The default is "mode 1".
It is possible that someone changed the original, remote and your FVP-4000T', to use one of the other 5 modes.
Cheap copy remotes normally only work with "mode 1".Using your old flaky Humax remote persevere to make sure that the FBP-4000T is expecting "mode 1" by following these instructions:

You are a star!
When my original remote was playing up I changed the mode. It worked better on 3 and later on 4. Have used it to change it to 1 an the new one now works fine!! Didn't know the cheap ones default to Mode 1 only
Thanks

It may be that the original one needs a clean. Though it seems impossible at first sight, it is possible with a strong blade to prise the halves apart and then clean the rubber contact pads with a cotton bud and then clip it back together. At least that is true of the RM-L08.
I have not needed to remove the foil part of the contacts, in fact that seems rather risky (despite some YouTube videos suggesting that it is a good idea).
However, before you do any of this, check to see if all the dodgy buttons are not causing the LED round the power button to come on.
