How to Reset LG TV Remote to Factory Settings

SankarBy SankarOctober 17, 2024No Comments

When your LG TV does not respond to the remote, it indicates a problem with the remote and may range from pairing issues to the remote button not working. For any such reason, you need to reset your LG TV remote controller.

The process is easy and may vary depending on your LG remote controller. However, resetting the remote will erase the custom settings and configurations you have made. On that note, here is a detailed guide on factory resetting your LG TV remote.

How to Soft Reset LG TV Remote

A factory reset unpairs the remote control from the LG TV. Nevertheless, a factory reset isn’t necessary if your LG remote faces only a minor issue. So, it’s better you perform a soft reset on your LG remote before proceeding with a factory reset.

  • Initially, flip the LG TV remote and remove the battery dock.
  • Remove the batteries out of the battery compartment.
remove the lid and batteries out of LG TV remote
  • If the batteries are drained out, replace it with a new one.
  • After a while, insert the working batteries back into the compartment and close it.
  • Finally, press any keys on the remote pointing to your LG TV and ensure it works properly.

If there’s no response while pressing a key after a soft reset, then proceed with the factory reset.

How to Reset LG TV Remote Controllers to Factory Settings

If the soft reset fails and you want to reset your LG TV remote to factory defaults, check the following listings for more details.

Press OK and Mute buttons
  • LG Standard Remote: Remove the batteries and leave them idle for 3-5 minutes → insert new batteries → Hold the OK and Mute buttons until the LED blinks→ Done.
  • LG Magic Remote: Hold the Home and Back buttons → Release the buttons when you see “Remote Registration disconnected.”

These methods will reset your TV remote and unpair them automatically with your TV. So, to use your TV remote again, you need to pair them again. To do that,

  • Standard Remote: Point your remote towards the TV → Hold the Power button until the LED Blinks/TV turns off.
  • Magic Remote: Point the remote on the TV receiver → Press the Wheel Button → If you see “Magic Remote has been successfully registered” → Pairing is done.

Things to Consider Before Resetting LG TV Remote

Besides resetting your LG TV remote, you can proceed with other troubleshooting methods if they don’t work as usual.

  • Remove the obstacle that blocks your TV receiver.
  • Remove the batteries and press every button twice on your TV remote. This will remove any blockage that causes your LG TV remote not to work.
  • Clean your LG TV remote using a microfibre cloth to remove any smudges on the surface.
  • Sometimes, the issue might be with your LG TV, which fails to respond to your remote commands. In this case, restart or update your LG TV to fix the issue.

Even if all the fixes have failed to solve your issue, consider alternatives like using a Universal remote for your LG TV. Many online shopping websites like Amazon sell Universal remotes, which you can buy and try using.
