Are you frustrated seeing your Hisense TV remote not working<\/strong>? Don’t worry! This article will discuss its reasons and ways to fix a Hisense TV remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hisense TV and remote are brought in by the Chinese electronics manufacturer company Hisense<\/a>. It provides good service at one of the most reasonable prices in the television industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However you need to pair the remote with the TV first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold the cute key and 0 button on your remote simultaneously until a red LED turns on. When you see it, release the buttons. Wait for a minute for your TV to get connected to your remote. The pairing is done after the blue LED flashes three times on your remote control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is pretty easy to use the Hisense TV remote (as with any brand) however there might be situations when the device just stops working. This exact thing happened to my friend a few months ago when he experienced the “Hisense TV not responding to remote” <\/strong>problem and called me to see the actual situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t know much about Hisense TV as I never used one. I am not a big fan of keeping separate remotes for different devices and hence use a universal remote. And since I have a VIZIO TV at my place, I did an article on VIZIO universal remote codes<\/a> in case you belong to my tribe of one remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


But for my friend’s issue, I researched a little bit, and the reasons and the solutions for the problem are more or less the same. If you have a Hisense TV at your home and want to avoid getting disturbed by this issue, check the causes and solutions I have listed for the Hisense TV not responding to remote <\/strong>problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons for Hisense TV Not Responding to the Remote<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are various reasons behind your Hisense TV remote not working<\/strong> properly or malfunctioning. If it has permanently malfunctioned, you certainly need to buy a new one, but you can apply various solutions listed below to see if it is okay or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dead Batteries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The prime reason for your Hisense TV remote not working is dead batteries. Any device with no battery power will certainly not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dead<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To check if the batteries are dead or not, try switching your remote batteries to any other device. If the device doesn’t work, you are sure it is a battery problem. If it runs smoothly, then the issue remains with your remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I have seen many instances when people haven’t set their battery correctly in their remote and complain that their Hisense remote isn’t working. Remember to apply the batteries correctly and see that the minus (-) plus (+) sign marked in the remote matches the sides of your battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockages between the TV and Remote<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another common reason behind your Hisense remote not working properly is any hindrance in line of sight between TV and remote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your TV consists of an IR sensor, and this sensor needs to receive and send signals with the beam coming from the remote without any obstruction. This obstruction includes walls, large objects, other electronic signals like Bluetooth, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A problem in Power socket<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another factor behind your Hisense remote not working properly could be the power socket to which your TV is connected. Some plug-ins might not be connected to your power socket correctly, which can lead to this problem in your Hisense remote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performing a power cycle will help recover from this situation which I have discussed later in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Presence of Liquid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another major cause of your Hisense remote not working is any liquid matter that has gone inside. It is a common cause across all the brands, and the remote buttons refuse to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The liquid inside your Hisense remote can prevent the rubber buttons from coming in contact with the circuit pads correctly. If this particular problem happens, I recommend you buy a new model to run your TV smoothly again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A problem in TV<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the reasons mentioned above aren’t a problem, then the problem indeed remains with your TV. It is very typical that your Hisense TV faces an issue and cannot get signals from your TV remote. Not keeping your TV up to date might lead to this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If any of the problems mentioned above aren’t happening, and the issue solely remains with your remote, there are specific fixes by applying which you can fix the problem. Let’s take a look at those sections below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hisense Remote Stopped Working? Here are 6 Fixes to Apply!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’ve looked at some of the main reasons behind the Hisense TV remote not working. Now let’s get down to the possible solutions without further ado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apply New Batteries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As I said earlier, dead batteries are the most common reason behind your Hisense remote not working. The remote may be fine, but it is for the batteries for which it might not be working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Apply<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Test it by applying the same battery elsewhere. If they don’t work, change them, and use a pair of fresh batteries into your remote to run them efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Obstacles that block IR signals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

IR signals stand for Infrared light signals, which send and receive information from the TV. However, as discussed in the Reasons<\/strong> section, there might be an object between your remote and TV blocking signals between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid getting disturbed by this issue, ensure that no opaque object is there in line of sight between the TV and the remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reset Your Remote<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your Hisense TV remote is not working, you can apply the reset Hisense TV remote<\/strong> option. Resetting will erase all your programming in your remote, but you will be able to set it up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Reset<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to reset it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step I:<\/strong> First, tap and hold the Menu<\/strong> button on your Hisense remote for a few seconds until your TV screen turns black.
Step II:<\/strong> Then release the menu button, and your Hisense remote will be set to factory default settings.
Step III:<\/strong> Now try your remote, and see if it is working smoothly or not. If the problem persists, try resetting the Hisense TV remote<\/strong> process again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perform a Power Cycle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, the problem remains with your TV and not the remote, for which communication between the two devices gets hampered. Power cycling your TV is likely to fix the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step I:<\/strong> Unplug the power adapter of your Hisense TV from the power outlet and wait for a minimum of 1 minute.
Step II:<\/strong> Meanwhile, during those 60 seconds, press and hold the power button of your Hisense Smart TV, located at the side of your device, for 30 seconds.
Step III:<\/strong> After the process is done, plug in your TV back to the power outlet. The TV will reboot and will take a bit of time to start. Test your remote and see if it runs smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tap on all the Keys on your Remote<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It might seem a bit weird to you, but this technique works. And you would be amazed to learn that my friend’s issue got solved by this trick only. If you ever see your Hisense remote not working correctly, you can mash all the buttons together to rerun it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tap<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, a particular button of your Hisense remote is stuck, resulting in your other buttons of the remote getting stuck too. It is more or less like a keyboard when a person holds down multiple keys on your keyboards, and they stop responding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than mashing all the buttons, you can also slap the device with your palm, pop the buttons back, and run your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open your Remote and Clean the Device<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the above fixes do not work for you, then you can open your Hisense remote and clean the internal components, including the circuit boards, rubber buttons, plastic panels, or if any liquid has gone into it. The Hisense remote is easy to open as it doesn’t have any screws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s How:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step I:<\/strong> First, remove the batteries from your Hisense remote and tap on the power button a few times to discharge it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step II:<\/strong> Near the OK<\/strong> button of your remote, you will find the way to open the remote. You might need a screwdriver to hold it up and open it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step IV:<\/strong> Once you can open the remote, you will find the internal components. You can remove the circuit board and the button panel and inspect all the parts minutely. You might see tremendous inside stains and details of hairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step V: <\/strong>If there is liquid residue inside, use isopropyl alcohol to clean them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
