We have the Samsung LE32A457C1DXXU and the remote has stopped working but when I press the buttons it still flashes that it is working on the actual tele. Also the a menu comes up and stays on the screen when the tele is turned on for around 2 mins then goes and if we press any of the buttons on the side of the tele it turns the tele off

Have you checked the batteries?

Has a button been pressed to allow it to control another device? (most newer remotes have the option of controlling other things like DVD players Ect. if your remote has a "TV" button, press that first then try to control your TV.)

to check your remote is still transmitting a signal, simply hold a digital camera or camera-phone in front of it.... if you see the light on the front flashing, it works. (you won\'t see the light with the naked eye, but a camera will see the infrared light)

On blu ray remote control hold down TV Power+01 at the same time. If the TV turns off the controller is programmed. If not, try TV Power+02, +03, +04, +05, +06, +07, +08, +09. Different TV BRAND??? ...TRY http://remotes.com/remotes/documents/Samsung/AK59-00104K.pdf

You can power scan for the code.
Turn ON the electronic device you want to program the remote to control.
Press the Mode button( sat,tv,dvd,aux) on the remote until the appropriate mode light is flashing.

Press the Power button. The mode light will stop flashing and stay lit.
Press the Up or Down arrow button to set the remote to the next code. The Down arrow button scans backward and the Up arrow button scans forward.
When the correct code is reached, the device (whether a TV, VCR, or other) will turn off.

Press the pound key button to store the code in the remote control memory. If the code is valid for your remote, the mode light will blink 3 times.
Turn the device back ON by pressing the Power button.
Press sat mode key once you power back on the tv to be able to operate the receiver box.
Try some other functions to make sure you have the correct code. Occasionally the Power button may work when others do not.
If the other buttons work you are finished.

.
If the other buttons do not work, repeat the previous steps. The scan will resume from the last code stored.
The mode light will flash rapidly when the scan has returned to the starting point and all codes have been tested for that mode. The remote control may not control some device models.

Hello Jacqui,
When you press the number button or other buttons on the remote do they Feel Stuck? The reason I ask this is every remote I have ever Had always ends up getting something spilt on it.
If It feels like the button are sticking then you could always try cleaning it with a baby wipe or something similar Not a sopping wet cloth.

If the remote seems to be ok you can always check your remote is working. Firstly you will need a mobile phone that has a Camera on it.

With you mobile set it up so that your camera is on. Now what I would like you to do is Point your Samsung TV remote at it and press the buttons. Whilest you are looking at your remote through you phone you will notice that a light appears. This is due to the camera Phone not liking infra-red, ( you can not see this with the naked eye.) So try your power button and you will see what I mean. Now try the other buttons and you will see which buttons are not working and those that are.

If after doing this that certain buttons on the remote are not working full stop what I would suggest you do. Rather then buying another Samsung remote as they can be really expensive.

There is another way. A lot of your friends / family or maybe even yourself may have a Sky Remote lying about not doing anything.or you can buy them from Argos cheap enough.
Please follow the steps below and you will be able to tune your Sky remote To operate you TV

with the sky remote then.

Press TV
RED + SELECT ( hold this down until it flashes twice)
TV
0060

Try the volume if this works then press SELECT to save this to the remote. If not then press TV again then check the volume repeart this step until the volume works then Press SELECT to save the code to your remote.

Hope this helps you out and saves you some money buying an expensive replacement.

Thanks

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_77a19afa8d604dee

I had the same problem.  The problem is strange and seems to be with the receiver in the TV and not the remote control.  The reason I say this is that when this first happened my Samsung brand DVD could actually control the TV.  This then also failed, but still works fine with the DVD player.
Anyway there is an even more bizarre fix to all this......
- Remove the batteries from your TV remote. - Press and hold the red (ON/OFF) button for at least 1 min. - Replace the batteries and hey presto!!
I know seems far fetched but I found it on the Samsung website and it does work.

1. Press tv on your Sky remote control.

2. Press and hold down select and the red button together until the red light at the top of your Sky remote control flashes twice.

3. Press tv again

Then enter the remote control code using the number keypad. The red light will flash twice if a valid code has been entered.

Samsung Code: 0060

4. Point your Sky remote control at your TV and press the Power button. If this turns the off as you'd expect, then the tv should be set, press Select and the remote should work

5. If the TV does not turn off press tv, then press the Power button again, repeat this process until the TV turns off, when the TV turns off press Select.

You can find the remote control codes for different brands of devices from
http://www.hifi-remote.com/ofa/codes-tv.shtml#tv

If none of the codes work then we have two other solutions:

1. Searching For Your Code

If you have tried all of the set-up codes for your brand of equipment ,or your brand is not listed, and you are still not able to get the unit to respond, try the following procedure to search for your code.
If you don't find a code that works, the remote will flash four times when you reach the end of all the codes for this device type.

1. PRESS the button for the device you want to program, (TV, VCR, CABLE, etc.), then RELEASE.
2. PRESS and HOLD the SETUP button until the red LED flashes twice, then RELEASE.
3. ENTER 9-9-1 (two blinks on the remote)
4. ALTERNATE slowly between the POWER key and the DEVICE (TV, VCR, CABLE, etc.) button until your device turns off. (On VCR, LD, and CD players use PLAY instead of POWER)
   Make sure that the remote is pointed at your device during the search, You may have to press this sequences of buttons up to 100 times to search the entire library of codes.
5. When your device turns OFF, PRESS the SETUP button and RELEASE it to lock in the code for your device.

2. Learn the buttons from the original

Line up your original remote and the head-to-head before completing the following steps.

1. PRESS and HOLD the SETUP button until the red LED flashes twice.
2. PRESS 9 - 7 - 5, the red LED will flash twice.
3. PRESS the DEVICE key where you wish to learn the function. The next 3 steps must be completed within 10 seconds.
4. PRESS the button that will receive the learned function, the LED will flash rapidly.
5. PRESS the button on the original remote to be learned.

Now you can repeat steps 3 through 5 to learn other functions onto other keys or press and hold SETUP until the Cinema's red light flashes twice to lock in your new feature. (If the red light does not blink twice, stop and repeat steps through 6).
To test the new feature, press and release the device key in which the new feature was learned followed by the key on which the feature was learned

Hello, follow this link to download the manual and the codes for your remotes:
http://www.ofausa.com/remote.php?type=URC3021
just right click and save as on the download links.

if this does not work you can try the search method,
you do this by either holding down the device button eg: TV or if you have one the "magic" button for three seconds, a light should then flash twice to say you have done this correctly.
then press the keys 991 then the power button.
you must now press the channel up key (ch+) possibly upto 150 times while the remote cycles through every code.
Once your tv or device switches off stop pressing the ch+ key and press the power button to make sure it switches back on,
(if you press ch+ too many times you can go back by pressing ch-)
When complete press the magic or device key again to save the settings (light should flash twice to confirm)

Many thanks
