Today I would like to record how I fixed my TV control. The TV was bought three years ago. LG NanoCell 55-inch Smart TV.
The control has a name: Magic Remote Control.
If you want to buy a replacement from the official LG store, go to the Amazon link here. The price is $50.86.
I find a video of how to disassemble it.
When I opened it, one part fell out. It is the wheel.
The support of the wheel is broken. So the wheel is stuck and there is no way to rotate it.
I need to fix it with something I can easily access. I looked at my storage. Found an Allen key. A very small Allen Key.
First step, I used a metal file to make the hexagonal even smaller to fit in.
Second step, I use the cutting tool to cut it to the length I need.
Third step, I drilled a hole in the center of the wheel. The part I made in the second step can pass through.
In the fourth step, I mixed the AB glue and put the parts together, added glue, and make sure the position was OK.
It is not too good, because I don’t have the right tools.
When I install the wheel into the remote control, it is a perfect match.
You can see the glue in the middle of the part.
At the last step, I put everything together. Install the battery. It works as a new remote control.
I learned this method from YouTube. Some videos use a toothpick instead of an Allen key which I am using. I believe the wood or bamboo toothpick is too soft. It may not last long enough.
You can see the timestep of my pictures. I used the fixed remote control for almost three weeks. No one will feel any difference between the old one and the new original LG Magic Remote Control.
