Is your Samsung remote suddenly refusing to cooperate? Don't panic! A 'Samsung remote not working' situation is frustratingly common, but often easily resolved. First, check the obvious: batteries. Weak or dead batteries are the most frequent culprit. Replace them with fresh ones, ensuring they're correctly inserted.
Next, consider line-of-sight. Is anything blocking the remote's signal to the TV? Even seemingly transparent objects can interfere. Also, try pointing the remote directly at the TV from a closer distance.
Still no luck? Sometimes the remote needs a reset. Remove the batteries, press and hold the power button on the remote for 10-15 seconds, then reinsert the batteries. This can clear any residual signals.
If these simple fixes don't work, your remote might need pairing, especially for Smart remotes. Look up your TV model's manual online for specific pairing instructions. If all else fails, consider contacting Samsung support or purchasing a replacement remote. Before doing that, test the remote with a smartphone camera – if you see an infrared light blinking when pressing buttons, the remote IS sending a signal, meaning the problem lies with your TV's receiver.
