Linking Slim 2 controller to LG Tv
The connection between my Slim 2 Telus Controller and the TV suddenly quit working. Cannot turn on/off TV, change channels, control volume... Nothing! I have be through the instructions 4 or 5 time...
Does the remote light up if you press the number buttons or any of the other buttons besides the option button?
No. I tried numerous keys, various numbers and otherwise. Tried on 2 controllers, one I had been using and the new one. Nothing on either.
The remote is faulty (hardware) and needs to be replaced if it doesn't light up when any button is pressed. There is no connection between the remote and any other device so nothing on the TV or phone will impact the remote functionality. Could it be that the replacement batteries are bad? Can you test the batteries independently?
Thanks, it makes sense but I just find it strange that the one I just took out of the original package should be faulty ... but hey you can drive a new car off the lot and have problems haha. I do have a battery tester and will check that although I had previously checked and they were good.
I suppose that the LG ThinQ would not have possibly changed a setting of some kind on the TV itself that would have affected operations that way?
The remote only outputs signals, it doesn't receive input so it's oblivious to the state of the devices it's sending signals to.
