Thank you so much. This video has exactly the amount of information needed and with it, I was able to repair the wheel and my LG remote is as good as new. You have provided a very valuable service to many owners of LG Smart TVs, so I can only reiterate my thanks!
This tutorial was awesome. No Bs, straight to the point and easy to follow. I didnt have drill to make the hole so I used small screw to make the hole by screwing it into the plastic from closed end and then removed it. That said, if you can get small drill use that! Much easier and less time consuming and risk to break the wheel.
Amazing!!! Just saved me $30. Did it exactly how you did only I used a tooth pick and just glued the inside of wheel to it and then was able to push the tip thru the other hole on remote. No sanding. But dude your a life saver I never would have thought to drill out the wheel n use dowel. I was tryn to glue piece plastic to end of wheel. FYI it didn’t work. lol. Thanx again!
This was very helpful and straight to the point. I've used this video to help fix my LG magic remote wheel in a few minutes, and if feels like a brand new remote. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your help. 💪🏼 Normally I will get these kind of fixes on my own, but this time I just needed your inputs. Thankful from Berlin, Germany...👋🏼
Amazing. Quick Tip for me: For opening controller use credit card from the bottom up , and use toothstick it’s much easier to cut size also with nails clipper and adjust with small knife . Cheers
@@ansn5108 Make the stick long, push it into the wheel. Place teh wheel in plac and push the stick further. When connection works, cut the stick yhat isn´t used.
@@osopolarmovies just did the exact same thing. Bored out both the wheel and the base then pushed a long toothpick through until snug, then clipped the ends. Worked like a charm
Thank you for the video. I fixed it. The tickness of the plastic that holds the scroll wheel is laughable honestly. Shame on LG. Small tip for 'driling' the hole. Heat up a tip of a needle, paperclip or similar thin peace of metal then puncture the side of the wheel. Then push a top of toothpick in it. Shorten it so you can fit it in the mechanism. After the fix it feels more sturdy 🙂
I brought another remote from Amazon last week but the frack’n cursor won’t move and I don’t want to do a hard reset on the TV. I have an IFIXIT Pro Tech Toolkit that I’ve used to fix broken screens on iPhones and Droids…..I’m about to get BUSY! Thanks Upper! I liked and shall sub to your channel….the Amazon remote is going back!
Now on my second broken wheel remote. With 3 other options in additon to the spinning wheel to move around the TV is so dumb they make the ONLY place to push ENTER the same wheel? You have the red cursor arrow, the up and down control arrows and the arrows around the circle. But only one way to Enter. It should be a stationary button. And I plan to write to them. If they made a new remote like that I would buy it. 3 years ago we got the smart TV. Then a year ago the remote broke.I watched all these videos but decided to order a new one and ony one was the identical LG remote. A year later wheel broken again!
@@gergelim3417mine broke in a few weeks 😐 i used it very veeeery few times because i only used the tv for videogames. My dad used it a few times and it broke Makes sense now that i see how its on the inside, its made to be broken
I have done this method over a year ago and it failed after about 10 months. The problem is that the wheel is for two functions - rolling and clicking. Clicking makes the wood to fail after a while. Do you know the correct size of aluminium rod that can be used instead of wood?
I have a question... Got the press down click to work but the spinning wheel seems way to smooth now and doesnt react? Does the toothpick need to be hardly pressed into the "sensor" on the motherboard?
This doesn’t open the way he is showing us. I have 2 lg tvs with this unfortunate remote . I bought 3 replacements already, that’s how bad they are. Every time I managed to open them it took a lot of work. Screwdriver in between sides WONT work. You will hurt yourself and scuff the side terribly. Be careful u are going to hunt your hand.

You saved me, show!👏👏👏 Brazil.
Thanks to your tutorial I just fixed my MR20 remote :) Thank you very much :)
I too fixed an LG remote with a toothpick! Shaved it down with a single edge razor blade and jammed it in.
This is a general problem and LG should repair without any cost for us.
I get you put the toothpick in but how do you attach the other end to the wheel?

@@bryanblank4432 Great! Should the problem occur in a couple of years you know how to handle it.
Thanks to you I fixed it ❤😊
That make me happy!
Great video it showed me how to use my teeth and a hand gun to open it and click the circle onto the sensor with a clip and a butter knife
I ordered a replacement one yesterday, but i'll try it when I'm back home.
Make a spare remote!

Valeu, me ajudou dms iria gastar 100 reais, mas graças a sua ajuda consegui arrumar com apenas uma pedaço de ferro.

Fico feliz que você tenha conseguido consertar o controle remoto e também economizado dinheiro.

2 MM drill bit, toothpick and job done!

Do what now?
Muchas gracias! Funciona a la perfeccion. Yo he usado un palillo de dientes.
Is there another option to select instead of pressing wheel

That worked perfectly, many thanks!!
That make me happy!
Exactly what I was thinking to do (maybe only use metal axis), thank you
The metal axis must be a LITTLE flexible. Tyr it!
Merci pour ce tuto ! 😁 n'ayant pas de cure dent, j'ai fais ça avec un clou ! Ça marche au top ! 😁👍

This is a way to make money, make bad Quality produkts.
are you sure it wasn't bad use? mine worked perfectly for 4/5 years, until the kids broke it
@gergelim3417 what is wrong is the design.
@@gergelim3417mine broke in a few weeks 😐 i used it very veeeery few times because i only used the tv for videogames.
My dad used it a few times and it broke
Makes sense now that i see how its on the inside, its made to be broken
Haha! Really good solution, thanks!
Ty!!! This has help me alot

Nice fix!! Hey, do you know how to fix the OK button on electronic board? Mine is not working/malfunction

Thank you bro
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Perfect 👌
The wooden stick is flexible, still works fine.
Excellent....

Thanks you so much
Will try tomorrow! 😊
So, what happened? Did you try?
Great! I used a Magic Wand of Lego to fix it😂
Great idea!
Thank you
I have a question...
Got the press down click to work but the spinning wheel seems way to smooth now and doesnt react? Does the toothpick need to be hardly pressed into the "sensor" on the motherboard?
A normal toothstick in normally thion and the the movement from the wheel will not affect "the sensor". I used a grill stick.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Perfect i made it
I fixed mine that way, but it failed because the little wheel gets stuck.
There is no way to replace it with another one that does not have that spinning wheel?
Buy a CHUNGHOP RML7

Kaha milti hi wheels mujhe bataye meri bhi toot gae hi mangwana hi
Great it shaved my remote 😂😂
But how to open the cover the implement I don't have
I have used a plectrum and a fine screwdriver. I admit that it is a difficult moment.
Hi. I have same problem. I can replace wheel but another problem is button that make click is not in place. Can you tell me whats its exact name. ?
It is called microswitch. It is a standard component.
@@osopolarmovies Thank you very much.
My encoder is defect, do someone know where to buy it?
I’ll try it thank u so much🫶🏻
Just be patient. Good luck!
I couldn't open the remote first 😢😢
But the…?
What if the senso3 button is broken
It is a standard component which can be replaced.
Is this toothpick?
It’s a grill stick, longer and thicker.
