Howdy. Just bought an MX4000 but I just can't figure out how to operate this thing. Either I just can't figure out how to adjust the volume or the remote has a few broken buttons. Some things work, on, off, switch inputs, list, etc. but go and the volume buttons do nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the reply. I took it apart and cleaned the connector with some IPA and wouldn't you know, it works! Awesome. Thanks.
Excellent - that was a quick result! Enjoy your TV and get back on the forum if you need a further help!

Can you pass that info along to me? I am experiencing the same problems and would like to get my remote working. Also, Vresiberba, where did you clean the remote to get it working. I attempted to clean the ribbon cable at the bottom as I saw some corrosion there but it didnt seem to do anything for me.
Thanks!

Hi. I should've take a few pictures but completely slipped my mind.
After you have opened the remote, there are three clips with a total of six nuts holding the 'contact foil' to the board. At the bottom there's a connector and a little flexing, metal clamp connecting the foil to the board. Carefully remove this by sliding it towards the bottom of the board/remote and it should slip right off. Next use a thin xacto knife or similar and carefully lift the foil at a bottom corner, as it's glued to the board, so you can get a hold of the little lip that connects the foil to the board. I then used a cotton bud with isopropyl alcohol and cleaned the connector; not on-top of the foil, but between the foil and the board. I had to do this twice before it worked. Slip back the clamp and test and hopefully the connection between the board and the foil should work.
Yes that’s where I cleaned it before with no luck. I might go back and try again, although now I have pulled the guts out of the TV so I don’t really need it at this point.
Thank you you for your help and advise!
