    I don’t usually comment on RUclips videos, but I had to here. I can’t believe this worked. It’s so simple. I was ready to buy a new remote and all I had to do was press a bunch of buttons. Thank you for this.

    Dude! You're a life saver!
    I just bought a vizio smart TV a week ago, to replace the one that crapped out on us. The remote slipped from my hand, and started to repeat one function for every button (i.e press volume up and vol down, input, power etc would repeat first function)
    I'm glad I watched this, because I thought "great! I got a new TV, and I just dropped the remote from two feet, now I need to buy a new remote."
    Thanks again!

    I followed all of the steps, but the remote did not work at first. I pried open the remote into 2 halves and cleaned the inside areas with a half piece of baby wipe; even were the batteries are placed. I reassembled; made sure all the keys were not sticking down or stuck; and presto, the remote now works. Thank you for this video that helps you fix an old remote. Better than purchasing a new vizio or universal remote.

    It worked, it worked!! I tested my remote first using my electric guitar and amplifier. A remote will make an audible sound through the pickups of a guitar when a button is pressed. It was working fine and there was no stuck buttons, so I expected it was something internal with the TV. I didn't expect this video to work for my case, but it did. I think unplugging the tv and taking the batteries out and holding the on/ off button down for 30 seconds reset the system. Thank you very much. My wife is happy now and I consequently so am I.

I just got back from going to Walmart and buying a replacement remote just to find out that it didn’t work either. So I just clicked on your video and the first thing you said was to unplug the tv and plug it back in. Well guess what? It works 🤦🏼‍♀️ wow! I’ve been reading all the trouble shooting info available on the internet and not one article or platform of any kind suggested to unplug the tv . But you did ! Thank you very much 😁 Grateful from Texas 👍🏻

    Echoing the comments below- This actually worked and just had to sign in to RUclips specifically to say thanks!! When I started pressing the buttons I noticed the "9" button was jammed in.

    The volume was the only thing NOT working so I followed everything you said & it's working again so thankyou for your knowledge!
