Remote doesn't always work. New batteries.

Hi,
I always have trouble getting mine to work after changing the batteries, but I have just managed to get it going by doing the following:
taking batteries out of main unit
putting new battery in remote unit and pressing remote unit reset button
re-inserting batteries in main unit and pressing reset button.

i think the trick is to ensure that the batteries go in the remote unit first, then the main unit after that. It has taken me days to work this out!

Remove any discs in the computer.

Hold the power button down until the computer turns off.

Press the power button to turn the computer on. If this doesn't work, proceed to step four.

Remove the battery and unplug the netbook. Wait 30 seconds.

Reinstall the battery and plug in the netbook.

Press the power button for ten seconds. If this doesn't work, proceed to step 7.

Insert the end of a paperclip into the reset button to reset the netbook.

The reset button is a small hole that usually appears next to the USB and other ports.

Windows 7

Create a new Notepad file.

Type this code:

taskkill /F /IM dwm.exe

Save the file as displayfix.bat in the following location:

C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup

This is how to complete a remote reset for a Sharp television:

Turn off the television if it is on. Unplug the television. Please leave it unplugged. Take the batteries out of the remote control. Leave the batteries out of the remote control. Is the television still unplugged? Yes? Good leave it that way. Are the batteries still out of the remote? Yes? Good leave them that way. Point the remote at the television's remote sensor. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds. Release it. Press and release each button on the remote control. Plug the television back in. Turn it on with the power button on the television itself. Replace the batteries. Try adjusting the volume. Hopefully the remote works. If it still doesn't work the remote sensor on the television could have gone out or you may need a new remote. http://www.sharpusa.com may have a remote you can order or http://www.replacementremotes.com but if that isn't the problem you may or may not be able to return the remote.

Hi Diane,


Your remote control has a reset button in front just below the timer button key. Press it using a pointed material like a paper clip to make it functional reset.


Let me know if the remote control still not functioning to assist you further.

make sure the remote batteries are in the correct + and - way. It could also be that the remote is broken. If nothing comes on when you press the power button and the tv doesn't respond, then the remote is broken and you should buy another one.

You can try this simple idea; to re-code the remote to your unit, press and hold 1 and ENTER/OK buttons together for 5 - 10 seconds, then release. This should restore the remote command to match the unit, and thus the remote should work. Failing that, replace the batteries in the remote with new ones, and repeat the above suggested procedure.

If the remote is triggering 'SET 1' on the unit's display, this simply means the remote code is different to the unit, and hence the remote requires a reset to restore control to it whenever the batteries are replaced. Easy enough to fix, doesn't take very long, and should not cost anything except some new batteries if required.

ive got the same F***ing problem !!!

I see this is an old question, but I'll answer it because I ran into it myself - after hooking the battery up again, hold down the lock button on your little lock/unlock remote. If that doesn't work, hold down the unlock button. I always forget and end up doing one and then the other. In any case, it resets and the hazards should stop flashing!
