If you are experiencing problems with your LG Magic remote not working properly, certain buttons are not functioning, or it’s lagging, then you may need to reset the remote.

Now the first thing that you should always check is, are the batteries good? Changing the batteries with new ones most of the times fixes most problems. If changing the batteries did not fix your problem then you will need to reset the remote. Don’t worry, it is an easy process.

To reset the remote you will need to press and hold for five seconds the Home button and the Back button both at the same time.

After five seconds, you will notice the Power button on the remote will blink 3 times and a message on your TV will popup that will say “Remote registration is disconnected. Please press the OK(Wheel) button to register”.
