Remote C71KW not responding at all

The remote is not responding to pushing buttons. I was troubleshooting not having volume control and now it does not control anything on the Samsung TV. Batteries have plenty of charge. 

I have reset by taking batteries out and holding the ‘ON’ button for 50-60 seconds and replacing batteries. 

After doing this, pushing any button or volume/channel toggle results in the number ‘0’ appearing on the screen for a time. Eventually buttons stop responding altogether. 

Holding ‘home’ and ‘exit’ do not work. 

Is there another way to reset this remote?

@Snceproject, we apologize for the inconvenience that you are experiencing with the remote control, even after resetting it. In this case, we recommend that you perform a factory reset of the remote control. Here are the steps to follow:

 

- Press and hold the Home and Exit keys simultaneously until the LEDs on both sides display red.
- Press 981 on the remote control.
- The LEDs will turn Off and then blink blue 3 times on both sides.

 

We're sending you a PM to continue the assistance.  William, DIRECTV Community Specialist
