pigeonbasher1 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 long shot but who knows, the remote on my lg tv as died, so as anyone got one laying dormant please, i know that universal ones are available but speaking to pc world, they dont have the "magic" curser so are not compatible, thanks ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downforce Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Whats the model number of your TV (or better still whats the model number on the remote) Acknowledge what you say about the magic cursor but most things can be done without that - I have an LG 55" and I use my sky remote for absolutely everything the LG remote is in a drawer somewhere I have a few universal remotes as well if anyone does need one (ideal second TV remote to stop the other half hogging the remote 🙂 ) D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downforce Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) ACTUALLY - I just looked at the only review and it basically says its rubbish and stops working after a week so thats not such a good recommendation - there is an original OEM LG NEW one on ebay item 125123924564 - it is a fairly hefty £49.99 but I guess you could always make an offer D Depends how much you want to watch TV 😁 There is a smartphone app as well called LG TV PLUS WEB OS - it is an actual LG App It's okay but annoyingly doesnt allow you to turn your TV ON (!?) from the remote (smartphone) why would you want to do that!! - I guess if you cant use your TV its better than nothing but as I said I use my SKY Q remote and it does nearly everything including turning on and off with a long press and hold (short press turns Sky box on and off) Hopefully that gives you some options D Edited January 30, 2022 by Downforce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR1 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 What’s actually wrong with the original remote. have found in the past that dismantling and cleaning the touch pads / board can sort many problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigeonbasher1 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 the problem is the curser keeps fading when trying to access a programe or menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
