Your idea's for fixing the remote look great - getting it open on the other hand, well you don't actually show just how you get it open or back together for that matter.
Mine broke (the rolling wheel mount inside); am already on my second fix. LG NANO91 remote. Seems pretty obvious it would break when you look at the design of it. Planned obsolescence? All LG have done is make me rate them below one of the new Chinese brands.
Thanks for the video but the real magic revelation is how do you open the cases because I been trying to credit card it apart and a 5 minute explanation would have been really valuable insight into the correct method to be used.
@@tijmenhupkes8626 Thanks, Even though mine is 5 months beyond the 12 month warranty I got online with LG chat and posed my case since these things are expected to have well more than 12 months useable life. Australian consumer law provides for this and warranty period stated by companies is not necessarily a true limitation to their liability .They are going to submit my application for replacement and I will see in 2 weeks if I get another.In the meantime, I am using the LG phone app to activate the centre approval button.
your video helped, thx!... the right barrel (for Ok/Select) on the wheel broke on my remote, so cut a piece from a traditional stick broom to put it back in place. not as clicky now but does the work... you can also try looking for cheap 2nd hand ones online to get a complete wheel as a spare part
@@PENB_22 I wonder how that fix would even work for more than a day since going by your video there's nothing to support the scroll wheel on the potentiometer/broken side. Are the older 18/19 remotes molded in a way that there is barely any space underneath the wheel towards the housing, so that it is held up that way? Because in the newer 20/21 models there's just a big hole and the wheel simply falls into the remote after the inevitable "unscheduled disassembly" (in fact totally scheduled by LG) from the potentiometer :T
Hi, I have the exact same fault with my remote - pointer and ok button not functioning. Do I have to repair wheel with a PTFE tape, as I've tried electrical black tape and ordinary cellotape, but that does not seem to enable the wheel to turn?
Hi Kindhearted_B, the tape is to support the wheel to be in place/not loose. So I still can use the OK button nicely. In my case, the wheel scrolling function is gone as the connector is broken. Instead, I can use the up and down button from the remote. For your case, if out of warranty, you can open it up to confirm. If in warranty, just request for replacement. Just my two cents advise. :))
@@PENB_22 Thank you for replying I have the exact same fault i.e the wheel is broken away from the connector 😩 Unfortunately the warranty has expired 😩
Good job. But for me it didn't work properly, so i tried putting a little piece of folded paper (approximately 0,5 cm thickness) in the hole under the wheel and it's very optimal.
I used a type of dense sponge cut from a special sort of tape; but I imagine door insulation would work just as easy. Pity LG could not design it better..
Is there any other way to use the remote to select options if the button is faulty , the scrolling feature on mine works it’s just the OK feature that doesn’t , I need help
i already bought a cheap replacement before i found this video 😢 but the replacement always says cannot pair with tv although it is able to use normally. just a bit irritating with the popup always appear when i press buttons...
@@gluhen_rose45 Hi Rose, Yeah, the scroll function is gone as the plastic connector is broken. (using it for less than a year). Btw, thanks for the compliment on my hands. Haha.
This is the problem from falling in remotes or just pressed hard from the tv. It's hard to press by the Other one. I think it will not probably working? LG Promote the Biggest time lock so call or need help to fix the remote control.
It could be due to some dirt under the button. Replace batteries. Re-register your Lg remote with the TV. Btw, only back and ok buttons are not working?
@@shubhamagrawal803 hmm, I did not encounter this issue before. Is it under warranty? If not, it is up to you if you want to open it. Beneath the remote casing, it is just buttons. You can press it to see if it is workable.
Hi there, PTFE White Thread Pipe Tape is quite common to find in many "home hardware shop" and it is cheap. It is mainly used as piping tape to avoid water leaking. The good thing is, it is easily removable.
Lg has produced the worst quality remote control. It was broken after 2 years. I bought an older model of remote control and it works fine now. It does not matter for me not tı have a couple of functions.
you guys are "lucky", my scroll wheel / ok button (came with an expensive C1 OLED) broke and not much later completely fell into the remote after merely 6 months of most careful and cautious use exclusively by myself - because it seemed sketchy to me from the beginning. I wonder how that thing even survives 3 weeks in the hands of an average family with 2 kids.
@@misatzu yep mine is a c1 oled and remote scroll fell into the case after 16 months use. The batteries I installed from new are outlasting the remote. Its such a critical "accessory" they should supply three or four with every TV sold.
@@tycannah4271 yeah I already baught a new one for under 10 bucks off ebay because I had neither the time nor nerves to deal with the lg support yet - which is exactly what they're aiming for lol
It means the scroll button keep pressing the button internally. (instead of press and release, it becomes press and hold, so you see power button light is always ON) Did you open it?
@@PENB_22 yes I just closed it before seeing your comment.. the power button is on for like 15 seconds before it turns off also I have two magic remotes and both of them are doing the same thing..I have new batteries and all
@@WillOnCode If you want to switch between 2 remotes, you need to re-register the remote by (press & hold 'home and back' button together for 5 seconds). What did u do after u opened the remote? (applying the "white thing" on the wheel?) If yes, maybe apply too thick, so small press will hold the button. Do you mean both remotes have same issue? the scroll wheel function broken?
@@PENB_22 @PENP_ when I do that nothing happens pairing the remote won't work on both of the remotes when it work but just won't pair I might just reset my TV and start over.. but it's not my TV it's the remote
Remote is complete and utter junk. There was a reason they don't use this design on phones anymore or anywhere else for that matter. Blackberry for all intents and purposes did it right when they did it though. I wonder if they have a touch screen remote for my LG TV. Oh wait the $350 one? FUCK THAT

My wheel wasn't working for months I just tried your instructions and it's working again. Thank you.
Hello just wrapped cotton round mine to support to required hieght perfect . Stay well .👍
thanks for the suggestion but damn LG that is some awful quality, the pin connected to the scroller is super tiny. This was made to break..
Yep; and LG do not care about improving the design.
Was about to order new one and saw this video and tried....this worked!!!!! Thanks a lot
Subscribe. :)
Nice idea for the ok button, but your scroll is broken. If anyone tries to do it like u did, it will break the scroll 100%
a very bad move from lg design team, they even don't sell the spars, RIP magic remote LG company.... many people are facing some same issues....
Yup, no spare part. They literally want ppl to buy new one. Hmph.
As soon as i tried this remote for the first time... I checked online where i could buy spare remote... Fake its okay as long as its works...
LG Magic Remote Wheel Broken, This Is What I do!
Does it work for you?
Thank you!! Worked like a charm!
Hi Nov, You're welcome.
after 3 attempts at the right amount of tap this worked in the end so thank you!
You're welcome lacottis. I'm still using the same remote till now.

Best way is to drill a hole through,and push a small piece of Allen key into the hexagonal hole in the potentiometer,no tape and a better fix
Thank you for this i fix our remote following your instraction and wow its working now
I used a resin epoxy, the kind where you mix two parts together, to reattach the wheel and so far, fingers crossed, it works.

@@PENB_22 Bingo; I was looking for this comment.
In my remote ok button not working how can I get it repaired as the point where ok button coonects is faulty
Hey can you show how to repair the new 2021 remote?
The problen is the pressure on one side of the wheel for the ok switch that breaks it
Good job. But for me it didn't work properly, so i tried putting a little piece of folded paper (approximately 0,5 cm thickness) in the hole under the wheel and it's very optimal.
Great job. As long as it is secured. XD

Gotta get the precise model.
I wonder if you can swop over internal parts?
So, the problem at hand now, is that you can’t use the scroll function anymore?
By the way, your hands are quite beautiful.
