How to disassemble LG TV remote control?

All modern LG TVs are equipped with a remote control. The service life of such a technically sophisticated device as a TV is more than 10 years. And if a high-quality viewing panel easily reaches this milestone and overcomes it, then the control panel often fails much earlier.

The reason for the inoperative remote control can be both serious damage and minor problems that can be easily dealt with on your own at home without resorting to the help of a specialist.

If the control panel does not have serious visible damage, but does not respond to commands, the reason for this may be damaged batteries, dirty key contacts, breakage of the connecting cable, detachment of the microcircuit. You can try to fix these problems yourself.

If the remote control stops working, first try replacing the batteries. To do this, you need to open a special hole on the back panel and replace, observing the polarity.

But before performing these manipulations, the remote control will have to be disassembled.

For more complex injuries, such as a fractured microcircuit, violation of the integrity of the connecting loop, special skills cannot be dispensed with... Therefore, you will need either the help of a specialist or the purchase of a new remote control.

If you decide to try to cope with the breakdown yourself and disassemble the remote control case, to carry out all stages of assembly-disassembly, the following things may be required:

• crosshead screwdriver;
• flat screwdriver with a fine tip;
• plastic card;
• knife;
• quick-drying glue.

Having prepared all the necessary tools, as well as a flat surface on which the analysis will be carried out, you can proceed to action.

Each individual LG TV model is equipped with a special remote control. You cannot control 2 different TV models with the same remote control.

But both conventional and remote controls with a control function for many models are disassembled in almost the same way. In order to open the case, you must perform a certain sequence of actions.

1. Unscrew all visible screws using a Phillips screwdriver... Sometimes the bolts connecting the body halves can be hidden in the battery compartment. Therefore, when parsing, you need to open this compartment and remove the batteries.
2. Then using a flat screwdriver unfasten the latches by pushing it into the joint located on the side of the remote control.
3. There are models where the 2 halves are not bolted, but closed with special internal latches. In this case, a plastic card will help to disassemble the remote control. It is necessary to try to place it between the side joints on the case of the remote device. By increasing the space between the joints, the latches will open.

Disassembled, the remote control will consist of 2 halves of a plastic case, silicone buttons, microcircuits connected by loops.

Having disassembled the device, you need to make sure that the microcircuits do not have cracks, chips or scratches, and the cables are not torn off either side... If there is such damage, then you cannot do without purchasing a new remote control.

If all the parts are intact, you need to wipe the silicone buttons and contacts on the microcircuit with an alcohol-containing solution using a cotton pad.

When performing these manipulations, you need to be extremely careful., since all parts are fragile and can be damaged if excessive pressure is applied to them.

After that, the remote device must be assembled by placing the silicone buttons on the sensors and connecting both parts of the case, closing the latches or tightening the bolts.

In some models of remote controls, glue is used to connect the body. In the case of disassembly and subsequent assembly of such specimens, it is necessary to remove the remnants of the old glue with a knife, degrease the surface and apply a thin layer of new glue to the joints, wait a few seconds and press firmly. After gluing, you can use the device no earlier than 2 hours later.

The latest TVs are equipped with touch panel controls. The parsing of such remotes is carried out in the same way as devices with buttons. But when parsing, you need to be careful and try not to damage the touch control panel.

If work experience is not enough, it is worth contacting a specialist, since the cost of touch control devices is several times higher than the cost of a conventional remote control.

During the operation of the TV control device, there are different situations. Often the remote is left on the floor, sofa, or coffee table. Therefore, such devices are often damaged due to the negligence of their owners. And if the TV is installed in the kitchen or in the dining area, the risk of damage increases several times.

In order to extend the service life of the remote device, you need to adhere to some recommendations, compliance with which will save it from damage and contamination.

1. Keep in a designated place: on a shelf or desk drawer.
2. When buying a new remote control, try keep the protective film as long as possiblewhich is glued to the front of the device. It will protect the buttons from being erased and prevent dirt from entering the case.
3. Do not leave the device on the floor... If an adult steps on it, in most cases the case and the microcircuit will be broken.
4. Do not leave on the couch as during disassembly, the remote control can get into the moving folding mechanism and get damaged.
5. Do not wash the buttons of the remote device with water and aggressive cleaning agents., as water can get inside the case and cause a short circuit. And the cleaning agent can wipe off the paint that marks the keys.
6. Keep the switching device away from heat sources, do not leave on the battery. And in case of water ingress, do not dry with a hairdryer.
7. Avoid getting food debris on the surface where the buttons are located. Small particles can get inside the case and cause malfunctions. If this does happen, you should not try to get them with a needle or knife.
8. Replace batteries in a timely manner... Expired batteries can leak acid and damage the contacts.

Thus, using simple devices, you can quickly disassemble the remote control from any LG TV model. And using the tips for use, you can avoid damage and repair of the TV control device.
