4K, 8K and Other TVsHello.
Looks like I just fell into the same Remote ‘flashing red, not pairing, not available, tv turning on by itself in the middle of the night’ black hole I’ve seen posted about. How frustrating! I have read through the posts and tried everything, yet i cannot get any of the functions to work. Everything has worked perfectly for over a year. I’m so confused, please help.
I have UN65KS9500FXZA.
Solved! Go to Solution.

4K, 8K and Other TVsHad the same problem and found a solution in a separate forum:
Try pressing the back button + the UP button at the same time for 10-20 seconds.
This will re-pair the remote w/ the TV and fix the issue. 🙂

4K, 8K and Other TVsYes, changed batteries twice. Just ordered new remote, but was wondering.... is the infrared light on tv supposed to stay on all the time? I’ve never noticed it before, but do now. AND my TV just turned on by itself again. Ugh.

4K, 8K and Other TVsOn my remote I had to hold the back button + play/pause button at the same time until the pairing showed up on the TV. The TV was on when I did this.

4K, 8K and Other TVsTurned TV on/off, unplugged, replaced batteries, and this actually worked thanks!!! Push and hold the back/return :right_arrow_curving_left: and play button :play_button: for like 5 seconds at the same time and it will "pair" again
