My dad mainly watches an older LG LCD TV. It works fine, but I think my parents bought it in 2015 and the remote is getting flaky. I went out and got a cheap universal remote so that they could at least change the channels and volume, but then he didn't want it when the remote started working again. So I returned it, until he told it was no longer working and I went out an bought it again.
Anyone else get a remote that's flaky? I don't think it was exposed to liquids or dropped hard enough to break it. Initially I helped him out by replacing the battery (which was showing signs of leakage) but the one light on it (under the power button) wouldn't light up when pressed. But again - some times it works, some times it doesn't.
At least this one is easy enough to program. I've seen some that are really nasty to program, especially when there's no indicator light of any kind. You're kind of left wondering if you did it the right way since it gives zero signs of success unless it just works.
