Lol. Only functions I need are power and volume. My cable remote can handle the rest.

You can program your cable remote for power and volume.

You can use whatever you use to clean your kitchen or bathroom. Just spray some on the contacts, wipe off, rinse the case and let it thoroughly dry before putting in new batteries.

I wouldn't spray anything in it, just something to scrap the corrosion off the best you can.

I am buying myself a Sony 55" Smart TV as a retirement gift and plan on using Alexa as my remote.

I'm not concerned with Amazon knowing who comes to my door, but I wouldn't want them to know my TV viewing habits.

I would only spray as the last option if nothing else worked.

 

[cosmo1]

Yeah, because it isn’t working. Clean it with what?

Nail file.

 

[cosmo1]

If you use a spray something like acetone would probably be best.

And melt the plastic.

You can program your cable remote to do that for you.

 

[burrheadd]

Are any of you electronics whizzes...like with TVs?

Yes but my expertise doesn’t
Kick in until I have a good beer buzz goin

Then iam pretty much an expert at most anything

 

[oldngray]

And melt the plastic.

I doubt it. Advantage would be lack of residue. Probably better than a household cleaner. I would preferably just scrape it clean.

Lol. I’ve been trying for years and so far, no success.

Maybe her daughter needs to do that.

Go to your cable provider website----you should be able to find the programming information there.

My son did mine for me.

Remote probably didn't have the right TV codes, with a sony bravia, probably does.

 

[burrheadd]

Here’s my issue... my sister gave me a TV a few years ago, a 42in Sony Bravia. I’m finally trying to hook it up and it has no power. No lights come on. When I went to change batteries in remote I noticed that one had corroded at one end. Any ideas on what I need to do next?

Get some new batteries

Should be a button on the side or back of the tv you can push to see if it comes on

I’ve got the same tv in the other

Its a lot easier to program now than it used to be when you had to look it up yourself and input the code numbers.

It is a cable company's remote, they are not going to be all high techie, or anything. But possibly.

Back when I was building golf clubs, I used acetone to clean and polish the plastic ferrules.

It melted the surface of the plastic, and you had to be careful and skillful to use it properly.
