The remote control on an elderly Samsung flat screen tv (40") has packed up; the on/off button seems to have lost its 'spring'. Can I replace it with a new one/how would I code it? All modern tv's are a mystery to me!
TV Remote Packed UP

Or just look up the TV model number and google replacement remote controls. Or look at the model number on the remote if it's still legible and buy a replacement. Genuine remote controls typically seem better to me but sometimes they're silly money. Sometimes people also sell old remotes on ebay once their TV's packed up too. No need for coding.
Smart tv ? Can use remote app on phones .

You can have a look on these websites and enter the TV model number to find out the model number of the remote control.
You can then compare prices with those on eBay.
I would prefer to get a genuine or a replacement designed for your TV rather than having to program a universal remote which is unlikely to have the same layout.

My sky remote has the model/type number listed inside the battery cover.
