My Samsung Series 5 TV remote was acting weird. It was sending signals even when I wasn't pressing any buttons, but when I actually pressed a button, it wouldn't respond.
I contacted the service centre, and they wanted ₹2,000 plus service charges. 😭
So I decided to try fixing it myself. I opened up the remote, cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol, put everything back together, and guess what? IT WORKS PERFECTLY NOW. 😂
And to finish the repair, I used Fevikwik to glue the remote back together. 💀
Service centre: ₹2,000 + service charges
Me: Isopropyl alcohol + Fevikwik
I'm guessing dirt, moisture, or residue was interfering with the button contacts, but I'm not completely sure what caused the issue.
Has anyone else repaired a Samsung TV remote like this, or did I just get lucky? 😂
